car radio

what after market radio will fit in my 1970 roadster ?

[mraitch]

virtually anything, depending where you put it. iii'd just check with a few local audio stores to see what they have.

On the other hand, I know of none that will fit the small stock space and look close to correct.

I'd suggest using modern technology for the radio! Keep your stock radio in place for looks and get a small Bluetooth amplifier. Use a smartphone or other device to stream your music.

That’s what I did, although I’m not using new equipment. I had some of my old Alpine stuff from 20 years ago to use. Amp in the passenger footwell and a pair of component speakers in the sides behind the seats. I just plug my phone into the amp input with a headphone to rca adapter and go.

Sorry Dan. I was leaving for the track and dashed off a quick repl
There are lots of solutions but given the vertical mount and face as well as the small space available next to and behind the radio, I know of nothing that simply bolts in.
I have a vintage cassette stereo in my 68 and a Nissan amfm sterel radio like in the Wiki in the 69
Both work fine.

Had my stock radio in my '69 upgraded with Aurora Retrofit

Added FM, Bluetooth and USB as well as a 4 channel amp to run to speakers. All done inside the case of the stock radio and still looks perfect. Connects up to the antenna and roadster power & ground.

Sent it to Bill the Radio Guy in Shelton WA. He also cleaned up all the pots & fixed all the lights.

Retrosound fits pretty nicely if you have a faceplate with the middle bar cut out. Or another option I wanted to look into was a Blue tooth amp, keep the stock radio there for looks then just play from my phone. Which is what I do anyways.
