My newly purchased 75 L82 Coupe has an aftermarket radio installed. What would you suggest to replace it that would look like the orig radio - even if it's aftermarket?

Seeking a new "old" radio...

I've not checked their site for radios but have a look at Corvette Central.
They are a great company to deal with fair pricing and excellent service.

I would suugest the same. Soemthing that has the ability to connect an iPod would probably be helpful. Are you planning on upgrading the entire sound system or just the head unit?
+1 -- Isn't that the cat's meow.......Looks OEM, but is modern and probably works 100 times better.
Corvette Central comes thru again.
Good question. The Vette arrives in my Ottawa driveway tomorrow so I've yet to do anything other than take it for quick test drive a month ago before buying it from a chap in Toronto. Depending on the sound, I might consider more than just the head unit BUT I'm not looking for the "WHUMP, WHUMP" of the beat to be hear five car lengths away - just want some clear and sharp tunes on an afternoon cruise
Suggestions?
VV
I'd go for the recommended head unit along with a set of 6.5" components for the doors and a single shallow mount MTX 10" sub. Only need a single 4 channel amp that will give about 50x2 for the front channels and maybe 200 for the sub and you'll be cruising with some very nice tunes that won't dominate your car and wake the neighbours
Thanks HA - that could give me something to do over the winter months. DDoor speaker seems to be on the fritz so there must be a wire askew somewhere on the present system - unless that channel is not presently working on the radio itself.

I'd suggest new speaker wire FOR SURE during this time. I would also dynamite the doors for FAR less road noise and way better sound!!
-- you might get less 'ventilation' and more quietening with dynamat.
Sorry couldn't resist.
Thks HA and CCO for the info and correction. I popped a cassette into the player and the sound quality was exceptionally poor at best - probably the head needs a cleaning. Regardless, I'm thinking that an "audio refit" will most likely be a project over the winter months.

It's probably still good... Cassettes sound poor anyhow. It's like listening to am radio. Your ears are just spoiled . Good luck with your project.

You stay tuned and between now and next spring, if Sanata is good to me (remembering that she just agreed for us to purchase the Vette) I'll let you know what the results are
