radio reccomendation

In regards to a cut up dash...

Mine was already hacked up before I owned the car. I really want to restore it back to original; AM radio and all. Is there a way to repair the dash I have, or will I need to find a replacement that has not been cut up?
If I need to replace my dash, can I removed my VIN plate and put in on the new dash?

Sorry for the interruption to the thread topic. I have personally had good luck with Pioneer decks in my vehicles. Both in functionality and looks!
