I prefer pre 68 vettes myself....but after seeing this one being so nice and original...I figured I'd give it a try.....at least its not the 78-81 bubble back model...though that would've been a little more stereo friendly in the hatch

ANY Chevrolet is bad about elictrical whine.

EDIT:

All you have to do is groujnd the RCAs or make a better ground then the factory one.

Please tell me you will leave the stock radio in the dash and bypass it so you dont fuck up the interior, or that you will keep the stock radio.
