factory replacement

[wagon mafia]

are their any factory cd players that i could put in my wifes 86? It has the premium sound. but i am not worried about having to rewiring it i know the proper wires for everything. also how hard to swap out the non working power antenna for a non power one??

A town car would be your best bet, but finding one will be the hard part. The power antenna is kinda hard to get out of the fender, and depending what antenna wire you have you might have to rewire the thing.

if you don't mind totally changing around the wiring, I'd be looking at radios from a later Tbird or Mark VIII. Problem is, nothing really works with that stock 86 wiring. The later stuff can be swapped in, but you're looking at a new amp, all new speaker wiring, and figuring out how to actually mount the radio. Later ones have the holes on the side that you use the U shaped wire loops to pull, earlier ones just have brackets. probably not hard to take the brackets off the 86 radio and screw them onto the later radio though. Oh, Tbirds and Mark VIIIs sometimes had an optional cd changer in the trunk with the in-dash tape player, so thats another option if you happen to find one in the yard.
