What are you specifically looking for, a parts radio, a rebuildable core, plug and play, and your price range? I have a serviced 66 AM/FM. Never installed since I purchased it. If this may be something you can use let me know and I will PM the details.

I have a rebuildable one. Prefer a ready to go radio. How much are you asking and I will decide if it meets the budget.

I’m asking $750 shipped which is a lot less than I paid. I’ve seen one listed for $400 for parts only/not working. The radio was bench tested with the correct 10 ohm speaker and everything works. Not knowing your budget or the condition of your radio it may be cost effective to have yours refurbished. Below is the link for the seller where I purchased it.

6Sounds fair but let me kick this around for a bit. I've been told about 250.00-450.00 to repair mine. I will give this some thought.

No problem. The fact that you already have a radio is half the battle!

I realize they seem to be rare. I have a good am in there now but don't have an antenna so it don't work. Some idiot filled the hole in the fender and I really don't want to re drill. I've tried under dash antennas but no luck. FM don't need much antenna to work. My Merc has no antenna and works great on FM even inside my shop. That guy on evilbay is ridiculous on his price.

When I bench tested the radio FM came in really good considering I was in the basement using a junky small aftermarket antenna. Yep, I was shocked when I saw his current asking price. Was a lot more reasonable when I got mine several years ago. That said, back then when I was looking for a 66 AM/FM I found a serviced radio for about the same price I paid, but that one had really pitted push buttons and face plate. I guess the rarity is a big factor as time goes forward.
