1967 firebird after market head unit

Hi I have a 67 firebird and want to put an aftermarket head unit in. I can not find an installation kit for it any where. Does any one know where to find one or do something to cover up the extra space.

Thanks, Ben

Ben,

What exactly IS a "head unit"?

Jim,

A "Head Unit" is simply a stereo.

Ben,

Try classicIndustries.com I think you will be pleased with their selection.

Thanks, Drew. Never heard that one. Must be a youngster thing... We just called them radios... (:- (of course, we had 8-tracks, not CDs)

Ames Performance and Performance Years cater strictly to the Pontiac crowd, so you might like their offerings even more. Classic is hopelessly Camaro-oriented.

Negative gost rider,

When I completely restored my interior I stuck entirely with classicindustries.com for my 76. It turned out great and their customer help desk is open 24/7. Great bunch of guys.

Once again give them a look. I'm sure they have what you need. Besides the plate you are looking for is interchangeable for first gen Camaros and T/A's

Re: 1967 firebird after market head unit

Don't hack up your dash, it would be hard to undo and hurt the value and originality of the car. There is a manufacturer that makes modern soundsystems that can be hidden in your trunk and/or glovebox. http://www.superchevy.com/technical/...em/0407sc_cas/ If you replace the head unit w/ an OEM one, you can simply use a FM transmitter for your iPod or CD player; the sound quality isn't CD quality but for $40 it's hard to beat.

JMHO.
