uh-oh.. showing my age ;)
I'll throw in my thrid penny..
yep, it a pain converting CD or vinyl to MP3 but you've saved it a form
that you can use forever.. CDs scratch and give out, but if saved to
your PC (I also backup my PC to an external drive) you'll have it
forever.. even for the next generation "tune player"
Ipod obsolete ?? could happen ;)

What's an 8-track? ;-)
Going obsolete is probably right, but if you already have CDs it's less
time to put in a unit with a CD, (requires no need to make mp3s). But
that aftermarket CD/auto player unit also MUST have an aux IN plug to do
as you suggest with amp3 player or Ipod/Zune, etc. Don't buy one without
that Aux in plug.
There is at least one company making CD/AM/FM units for classic cars
listed on the 62-65 vendor's page:

There are also companies that convert your stock looking 65 Satellite
radio to am/fm with input aux that you can plug in a portable CD or
digital mp3 files player. (On vendor's page too.)
The $300 price restriction may rule those out though.
All of the adapters I've seen require a working FM radio to transmit to,
for example:

Most of the aftermarket cd/am/fm units have a detachable face. The key,
I assume, is to measure and find a unit that allows installation without
cutting up the 65's dash. Some people mount a cd/am/fm unit in the glove
box, too.
My dos pennies.
Let us know what you buy please.
Thanks,
