You may have already seen this, but I came accross this site while searching for something else.

He's got what appears to be a touch screen LCD driven by a Powerbook that can be docked in the back. The controls are on the steering wheel.
Kinda cool....

I really wanted to do this last year. I have a 5300ce that I wanted to use in my 2000 Celica. However I gave up on the idea. The 5300 isn't all that great of a computer to do it with. Plus using it in OS 9 would be a pain since I'll have to wait for the thing to boot and/or wake sleep. Maybe in a couple of years there will be iBook 500s on the cheap. They would be perfect for this job. The 12in screen may actually fit nicely in some larger cars (my car is far from large).
Here's hoping that Apple makes a car stereo that lets you slide your iPod into it and it uses the FW port to export the display to the car stereo's display.
Hey, we all can dream.

You could always just get a headphone to cassette adapter.
Or, just open the stereo up and hook up to the amplifier chip input pins and leave a headphone jack hanging out the front. Just set the volume at about 1/4 (thats usually somewhere around line-level for most amped headphone outputs). Although, there might be some quality loss to an impedance mismatch.
Have fun.
