Kirk at Vintage Speedsters in Hawaiian Gardens has a retro looking mount that installs under the dash. And for the most original looking radio look at Retrosound products.
There are however a great deal of products available now that would allow you to stream music from your phone to an amplifier so a radio need not be installed in the car. See this thread I started a month ago, it has a link to such a product.
Thanks Robert. I will shoot him an email.
Well, this gets you the old look.

yeah that the looks
Bobby - Vintage Speedster offers an option for a retro-look radio. It's called a RetroSound, has bluetooth (phone), USB ports and hookups for amp (and sub-woofer). Sounds fine, but could use an amp to really push the bottom end.
Here's a pic of the radio n my VS (click on picture to enlarge)...

Looks great. What do they do for the antenna?

There are a few options. A powered antenna which lays up under the dash, laying a regular mast antenna up under the dash, or running a wire from the antenna hook-up on the radio to the windshield support row under the dash.
A quick search of previous forums will shed more light on the topic.
Robert knows all about the Retro Sound radio and mount that Kirk has been supplying because he just installed one in the Silver Outlaw I'm currently preparing. Thanks Robert. It looks and sounds great!
Hey does anybody have Kirk's email address? I sent an email to the company about the radio mount and no one replied.
IMO, Kirk doesn't respond very quickly (if at all) to some emails. I've found luck in getting him on the phone around 8:30-ish AM PST...
