Is there a modern radio I can put into a 1965 Pontiac?

I don't want to cut up the dash. And I think the old dual-knob radios are pretty much gone now. I don't need a CD player, but I'd like something better quality than the factory radio.

Found a few links on the web, not sure if they will work for your car, but they all look to have models for the older 2 knob style radios. Some have iPod interface capability as well as some other features that might work for you. They don't look like the premium sound systems, but might be better then the AM Delco radio :)

One thing that is nice in the older cars is you usually have loads of room to do speakers, amps, hidden CD changers etc. Good luck.

You'll probably want to check with Custom Autosound. They make modern radios in classic style housings. Basically a new digital radio but with the dual-knob look you're looking for. I'm sure they have a radio for your car. They probably have CD changers and iPod hookups as well.
