I have a 67 with the standard holes for radio and pushbuttons and was wondering if anyone has identified a good replacement radio that will work or outlet for older restored units?
Thanks for any help you can offer in advance
 
I can't say for sure on the 67. Are the knob shafts on opposite sides of the radio body like a standard shaft style radio? I just put a RetroSound Hermosa in my '71 Chevy C10. I like it! It can be a pain to get the shafts adjusted to the right width, and how far they stand out, and you definitely need to use a support strap on the back because the shafts are a little weak and won't support the weight of the unit, but I'm happy with it.

I bought mine through Crutchfield. They have a few different models that come with different options (and priced accordingly). I chose the Hermosa because it comes with the USB I wanted and Bluetooth is standard too. Outputs include a USB for loading music on a jump drive. Not compatible with Ipod control though, which is fine by me since I don't own anything Apple related. There are also 2 different auxiliary jacks and RCA jack outputs.

I checked Crutchfield for fit on a '67 Charger and the one in the link is the only one they offer. The button head on that one looks different than mine. You might call and see what the difference is.

I've seen them on ebay and I believe that Classic Industries also has them but they ain't cheap! Especially when tweaked with modern adapters for things like blue tooth and usb inputs.
 
Look on E bay. Many Mopars of the 66-67 era only used a few different model AM radios. In first gen Chargers, I believe either a 322-323 model will fit properly. Other radios for Plymouths and other Mopars are very similar and will physically fit, but the plastic face over the dial indicator is different on the Charger radios. If you have the non working original radio, the plastic piece can be easily swapped so it fits in the dash correctly. If you are looking for an original AM-FM, they are rare and when the do come up for sale usually command big bucks. I have a couple of decent condition working AM radios that I repaired. They would physically fit in a Charger but both have a flat plastic over the dial indicator and not the correct knobs.
 
Thanks for the leads so far, I did check e-bay and looked into the Retrosound website. Have a few more leads to follow up on. F-nsteen yes single radio shafts are on opposite sides of the tuner.
