How about this one? I've purchased from him before.

That one just looks wrong in so many ways.  I've never see a Grand Prix that didn't have an external amplifier for one thing.

If you’re going for something authentic , this would NOT be it.  Scott is absolutely correct  that the model used in w113 had a separate amp.  That said, with a substitution of a chrome bezel and proper knobs, this particular model would have a “correct look” even if not truly authentic.  If that doesnt work for you, I’d wait until the right model comes along.

Not sure why you'd want a model with Short Wave station/preset.

Maybe pick up one of these?

Huh? What do fogtlights have to do with radios? I assume "hello" should be "hella"?
