I've been watching those, and waiting for one to come up on auction from a private seller. I'd thought about having an fm conversion done to my am radio, but the one you linked to on Ebay seems like a better route. Hope to have one in my truck by next SS.

I had Gary Tayman do my radio for $400.00. NOS appearance on the outside, modern guts and satellite on the inside. My 69 Marauder rocks with Sirius.

I really like the idea behind the retrosound radio. I thought about getting one for our ranchero, but saw a lot of complaints when I looked into them. Seemed like there were lots of returns and things that never worked quite right about them.

They've been mentioned on here several times lately, then yesterday I saw an add in latest issue of Hot Rod magazine....went to their webpage, they are based in Henderson, NV, which is right outside of Vegas:) So, gamble with your electronics purchase?? lol

Here's some discussion I found on the Retro Sound Model Two, I'm sure its the same internally as the one they sell for our trucks.
http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c3-general/3275579-retrosound-model-2-radio.html

Lots of complaints about having to send the radio back after it quit working.

It's expensive at $300 to $350 most places. I wouldn't even mind the price for what it does and how it fits and looks, but I have no confidence in the brand after seeing all the failure reports.

It's seems there aren't too many brands that hold up anymore. I went the custom auto junk route in the mustang, got 2 years before it quit just like everyone said I would.
None of these are 'cheap' either
