Yes, those stock radios are getting pricey especially if they have the hardware and look decent. Some guy brought me a '57 chevy signal seeking radio that I think he gave something like $750 for in non working condition. Then, he screamed bloody murder when I told him it would cost $150-$200 to restore the radio. He was like "I figured it could be fixed for $10 or $15, the seller said it only needed a tube or two".
Your best bet for a car radio would be to find an aftermarket model from the '40's, '50's, or early '60's. One day, I'd like to find an old vibrator based car radio, adapt it for AC operation, and build a case for it.
