Anybody know of any rear antenna replacements that look nice and are reasonably priced?
Seems that most of the OEM-style replacements are pretty pricey, and I can't tell from the catalogs who actually sells a COMPLETE rear antenna( mast, base, nuts, etc.)
I do see E-bay ads frequently for what they claim are "NOS" antennas.
Rick's 1st Gen Camaro and Performance Years have complete kits for front or rear mounted antennas.

So I'm claiming it) Old projects, gone but not forgotten: 1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it. 1980 Turbo Trans Am 1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto 1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed 1983 F-150 4x4, built 302 1994 Chevy K2500 HD 4x4, 454 TBI
s-38 Yep... But I'm a little skeptical of the EBay postings... I'd be curious to see a comment from a purchaser..
Thanks for the inputs. I'll likely contact one of the two sources you mentioned. It wasn't too clear to me if Ames or Classic Industries had a complete kit.
bird2be, i recently purchased a front mounted antenna off ebay.It has the removable mast and is retractable.I believe you can use a front mounted one with an extension cable.I am happy with the purchase as far as look goes,however as far as fit goes,i have yet to mount it on my car.

b6f4r-- Thanks... I've seen the ads, but I wasn't sure if they were appropriate for rear mounting. I assume that you've got an adjustable one - with respect to mounting angle.
b2b, yes it is adjustable as to the angle and it also retracts so you can lower/raise it to a level you like and can take the top mast off for use with a car cover during storage. I like it,how "correct" it is for a FGF i'm not sure but it is probably not correct for a concours restoration,but that is my opinion.I picked it up rather cheap to boot.

I got a set on ebay (rear mast, ant. extension) from a company called Psycho Racing Products - located in Gardena, CA - they look good, and the pair cost less than $50. Classic Industries has them in the camaro cataloge for $175+/-?! I haven't installed them yet, but they look ok!
