Paul. Stick with a '56 or '57. Be sure it is for a Corvette. Lots of guys on eBay try and push off the Chevy and the power pack is not a good fit. It will cost you big bucks. I got a brand new power pack, (only) without the tuner, which I alread had. I paid close to a $1000 for an orginal, never installed power pak. I still had to take it to have it rebuilt as the caps go bad with age. Now, here is a great thought. I have been reading other posts and here is a site to check on. If you are not worried about points, I think this is a good way to go. http://www.antiqueautomobileradio.com They look great and it will give you stereo and AM/FM Good Luck.
