Hi
For my 66 Coupe I got hold an AM modulator and a MP3 Discman. That way I can
listen to music through the original AM Radio.
(Are in the progress of making a CD with only music from 1964-69 (And
probably one with only 66 music on it..))
I get mono and here is probably something to say on the quality (AM signal
as good as it gets) but I think it's rather cool to use the original Radio.
