Not to hijack Dan post, but if you are looking for a ipod radio, classic radio makes one that looks identical to the C2's radio. I have one hooked to an amp and it will blow you out of the car. Now, I want to go back with the original radio in my 63, sincce it is a num bers matching car.. I paid 550.00 in Carlisle, Pa for it last year, if you are interested in one, I will sell mine for 500.00.
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

I was referring to taking a stock GM tube radio and converting it to solid state with an input for an IPOD. That's what I have and it works great.

I took out my original working Wonderbar radio from my 59 and placed it in storage. I bought a junk radio and had Mike Hagan convert it to solid state. It's AM/FM with inputs in the back. Looks old and original from the front. You will also need to change the speaker.
