Good luck withthat.
There is a reason they are expensive because they are rare.

well you could always mount it in the glove box but as for finding a cheap in dash one...good luck. if you have the money though i would reccomend the USA66 by custom auto sound. people might try to steer you away from it because they had some problems but i heard that they ordered like 10,000 from china or whatever and there was a problem they didnt know about before they sold them. ive heard good things about it though. if you look you can get it for $270

Try National Parts Depot, about $205, for an AM/FM Cassette. You will need speakers and I recomend the quarter panel type. If you have a hardtop, you can put a pair in the back as well. Just don't skimp on speakers.

id use a radio delete plate and mount you one under the dash or in the glove box alot of people on here are unhappy with custom audio sound

JameStanghas a "retrofit" radio that came with his car but was never installed. I don't think he is going to use it. I will ask him if you are interested in the radio.

I know it is AM/FM, I cant remember if it is a CD, I think it is a cassette! Wow thats old!

It will fit perfectly in the 66 dash.

jdm its not wide enough for a cd its am/fm tape i think only way to get a cd player in it is to cut the dash or mount it somewhere else
