The Beetles had the cheapeast radios (Sapphire ?), while the Type III models (Squareback Fastback Notchback) and maybe Ghias often had better radios. Here is one on eBay (although the listing information is weak): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6763&item=7905901577 Tim | | |

Jason, I think that's what I'll be using. I'll probably hide aradio under the seat... | | |
