Where to buy "original style" antenna for my 69 SE?

[Mfr426]

Hello all! I was looking for comments on where to find a stock looking antenna for my 69 Charger SE. Any suggestions? I want to be able to take this off when I put the cover on. I dont want to spend $150 for this part as I'm so far over budget on my car that I'm now sleeping in the car...



Thanks for any comments!

I'll have to look for it but there is a seller on ebay who sells antenna's similar too mopar originals and they sell a fixed version and retractable, usually have a buy it now price of 35 bucks and around 10-12 for shipping. I have seen them on there quite often.

Here's a link to a retractable and a non-retractable versions, The sellers User ID is dougs1967. These are not 'correct' items, but similar to original.

I think Tom at R-T Specialties carries the correct pieces.

Mike, spend the $100 and get the right one.  You'll be happier

You could try Jamie at Mega Parts for a factory one also. I bought many of my parts from him.

Yep, I spent the $139 and got the right one from Tom at R/T. Yep, over budget again... Sorry honey....

[jaak]

yeah, 139 isn't bad for a correct unit, I just listed those others so you can see the cheaper ones.

later,

Yep Jaak, I looked at them too and originally was going to get them but after thinking about it I know I'd be disappointed...

Thanks for the work though.

I grabbed a non-retractable antenna off a Dart but the base is different under the fender. I think the Charger antenna goes straight down while the Dart's takes a 90-degree turn. I got the correct bezel off Ebay so everything above the fender looks right. I think I spent about $20 total.

I should try to find one that looks stock but is powered so I can drive through the car wash.  I don't even know if the one I have is stock or not.

Was just searching around here and found that thread, $100 for a antenna kit is not so bad 

[Dino]

Hey you can dig up any thread you like.  I kinda like seeing these old threads myself.   

$100 seems pretty good yeah.

I've got one if you're serious.

A powered one?  I would be but I can't open my wallet for a little while longer, not until I can get rid of my wheels.  School has dreained my funds and I may not even be able to do the cam swap this year.

seems my antenna is different than the stock ones, mine has a spring at the bottom so you can bend it over without damaging the antenna. Its been on the car since I got it in 78.
