IIRC, '67 thru '73 will fit. They're listed on ebay a lot. Later models won't be "correct", but they'll fit & work.

There are a bunch of years that will work, up until maybe 1982?
The dial numbers can be different, I like the style in this eBay link.
Easy to tell, look for the chrome or maybe black balance tab under the push buttons. Almost dead ringers for the factory original AM/FM.
Here is a picture of one for a 1972 full sized Ford/Mercury, I have one similar to install in my 1968 GT/CS.

I purchased a am/fm for a console from this seller and was very happy with the radio. The only one I could find who had a radio for a console.

My 68 came with a radio with the Ford name, but since some of the buttons are somewhat sticking I had to buy another one for a 68. The replacement one has "Philco" on it instead of "Ford". Since I bought the replacement from someone that's a mustang expert I am assuming it would be period correct.

The Philco radio on the right is correct for a '68. Philco was a radio supplier to Ford and later became a Ford division. The radio on the left appears to be a '67.
