In Response #3 there are pictures of an antenna, one which shows a brown paper bag with a C9ZZ and SM9 part number. In Response #9 there is a statement by Mr. Gaines: "owner would use whatever was available because one exactly like the original was not available through Ford. The picture I posted with the C9ZZ on the bag was one of the whatever examples".
In Ed's post he mentioned the 69/70 Shelby antenna was not serviced by Ford so I am confused by the brown bag "I assume" the pictured antenna came in. Did this bag come from the subcontractor to Ford and at some point were a few of these available from the original manufacturer? Does the paper bag and the antenna shown NOT go together but are two pieces of information? The pictured antenna does not appear to have the screw-in connection on the staff for the coax cable but otherwise looks very much like an original antenna. Can some additional information be provided?
Thank you for your time.
