FM radio conversion

[mtbase]

I'm trying to keep My 66 Coronet and Barracuda as original as the day they rolled off the assembly line...including original radios.

Truth is that I'm a little spoiled with the modern conveniences of my daily driver. I can deal with the lack of a cup holder, but I'd love to get FM back without compromising the originality.

What has the FBBO resource done?

RediRad.com is the easiest thing to do. Pretty much plug and play and inexpensive or if you can fine an old working FM converter that was sold back in the day when FM first came about.

Good Luck

He did my 70 swinger and 68 coronet. Stock radio body with modern electronics. Absolutely love it. Dash looks bone stock. Both radios now now am/fm/ Bluetooth/ usb and aux ports... highly recommend this guy ...

Her's an old FM converter in my '66 'Net. Got it from an old radio guy a few years ago for $75. Works great - now I have FM Mono!

I used to run a much smaller fm converter than moose & I hid it in the glove box. I don't think they've been made for years, but you can probably find one. I think I got mine at Radio Shack. It was about 1"x3"x5". You would turn to a particular am station & then it would be fm which I'd adjust in the glove box

Mine was done by Instrument Specialties and I’m sure that was farmed out. The power upgrade and sound are amazing but if I had to do it over again I would see if there is replica/retro already on the market vs altering the original. I don’t think the price is that different.

I used to feel that way, but after a couple 500 mile road trips I needed some tunes !

Easy solution. Sit a portable radio/stereo/boombox on the passenger or rear seat, and listen to what you want.

wards in alabama converted my am-fm radio to stereo and mp 3 player still have factory look,have to change to 4 ohm speakers with a conversion of old am radio though, sound is great and plenty of power if needed.

These guys did mine on my 65 Coronet and they did a great job and were really helpful . They are located close to me and pretty far from you which could be a pain.
