Need OEM AM/FM radio for my 1971 Mustang

[griffbl]

Howdy!  I need a correct for 1971 (or correct style save for year) AM /FM radio for my 1971 Mach 1 Mustang with A/C (if that makes a difference).  Car has an after market radio I would love to get rid of.  My car came with an AM radio, but I would prefer AM / FM in the spirit of usefulness.  

Thanks!

I got my AM from Mike at Motorcity Mustang.

Here in the UK we have companies that will install FM into a AM radio without it showing outwardly. So if you want to stay original you can but with the twist of secret FM

I had mine converted to modern. It is an original radio with modern internals. It has an internal amp preamp outputs blue tooth etc.

It was spendy but worth it

The full package was $650. He does offer cheaper alternatives

I drove my daughter to a friends house yesterday. Ont he way home tall cool one came on the radio. I cranked that old radio and she sounded so nice. I felt like a tall cool one!

The 71 AM/FM radio has "MUSTANG" in the center of the lens. The body of the radio for cars with AC is smaller to accommodate the center vents and ductwork.
