Not sure if this has been discussed lately, but what company makes a quality aftermarket radio with modern features that looks factory?
 
I had my original AM 8-track radio converted to modern AM/FM with input jack and bluetooth by Mike at Resto Radio ( https://retroradio.biz/ ).
Thanks Rocketman for the referral, I have researched the Aurora Designs conversion but was concerned which dealer to use. The Aurora Designs website lists a lot and didn't know who to trust with my radio.
 
I recently installed a headless stereo in one of my cars. You can leave your factory AM radio in the dash and just not use it.
The aftermarket one is just a little black box with a wired controller coming out of it. You pair your phone to it and stream music over bluetooth from spotify/apple music/pandora/youtube.

It has the usual car stereo things like constant 12 input, switched 12v input, ground, preamp outputs, and pairs of wires for 4 speakers. The remote can be stashed in the glovebox, console, or under the seat.
 
Thanks for the input. I was hoping for AM/FM and maybe a cassette player? I still have a lot of great tapes. I am really not all that up to date on the technology side of things as you can probably guess from the cassettes, but if I could at least listen to FM radio that would be great.
 
I recently installed the USA-740 and fits perfectly into my 73 vert. Has AM/FM, bluetooth, aux, and USB. Not sure if you'll find something to play cassette tapes unless you get yours converted. I didn't want to have my factory radio internals changed in case I ever sold the car and the new owner wants it back to factory. That's why I opted for a replacement.
