Why not keep the old radio in the car and think creatively about how to
install a modern sound system with radio and/or iPod inside the case of the old
radio... Those old package tray radios are rarely seen (I've seen one in my
entire Healey career) so keeping it in the car would be great. Proper speakers
could easily be mounted out of sight in the upper portion of the footwells.
Then
for shows all you need to do is plug in some Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper on
the iPod and transport folks back to when the car was new.
Cheers
