need advice on radio

[dpenton]

i am restoring a 1973 scamp for my son. we want to replace the stock am/fm with a cd stereo. Is there one available to fit that hole or do i need to consider cutting out or relocating another stereo elswhere in the car?
Any help appreciated.:cheers:

I would call Crutchfield. They only list for the 73 Challenger and Barracuda on their site but I bet they have more. They'll sell you the install kit and all to do it right.

A-body radio mount is not close to the e-body. I would hang it under the dash-they don't make AM radios like they use too anyway.

I am aware of that. that's why I suggested he call Crutchfield.

Hello. I have a 73 Scamp also. If the car does not have AC (or the vents below the dash vents have been removed like mine) you could use a radio box below the dash. See this website: http://www.hotrodproducts.com/RadioBoxes.htm
I am very happy with how mine turned out. I was able to (barely) fit my B & M Megashifter with the original bench seat. I will post a pic if you are interested.

Here is a picture of how my CD player installation turned out using the box from the link above.

No CD player will fit with out cutting.

Your best bet is what wild bill has or a hiden changer.
