Not that CD players work in our cars. I mean with the stout suspension and all the pot holes around here. La la la bang! Skip! La la la bang! Skip! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I guess I'm mostly looking for a stereo that doesn't look like it belongs in a Grand Prix or a Malibu.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Any suggestions?

Both PP & maybe AA sell a "modern-retro-look"radio for classic Porsches, but I don't think there's a CD in there.

Try Woody's also: http://www.bench-racing.com/html/about_us.html

In addition to the bumpity-bump problem with audio in our 914's, there's also that lovely LOUD engine behind your head to drown out the audio. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My buddy with the 1 owner (him) 71 that I posted, installed a CD changer in his glovebox, new speakers in the stock housings & ran them thru the OE 70's radio.

I'm putting the original AM-FM-8-track back in mine & play/strip the old 8-tracks which I still have! ... clickity-clack!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
You could always look for a real vintage one on Samba & evil-bay!?

Thanx for your input on my body shop questions, sounds like I need to learn to weld to do some of rustoration on it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
