As a follow-up to a similar named topic in the 1965 section, my car, 6S280, was leased by SA to employee Gary Pike and sold at auction in December '66 with other SA corporate cars. At the time of the auction it had an AM radio and RR mounted antenna. The antenna on the car when I purchased it in 1987 was not the standard Mustang mast used in the RF fenders. When fully closed down, an 8"-10" fixed portion of the mast remained above the quarter panel surface. The inner wheel housing was "massaged" with a hammer to provide clearance for the portion below the quarter panel surface. The car was serviced very early in its lease period twice at Hi Performance Motors for differential work so they possibly installed the radio as well but no paperwork on the radio install.
I replaced the original broken antenna back in 1988 and did not keep it. I am looking for suggestions on what antenna may have been used for the original installation based on time period and my description of it. The picture attached is from 1987 showing the antenna as purchased.
