I think the power ant was a option. my 1980 has a power ant, my 1985 has non power ant, and the 1994 has a power ant. So I would think you could just get a regular ant and install it.

If you can hear the motor run in the unit when you turn on the radio , it may just need a new replacement mast...Id say 75% of the time this is the problem.. You can pick these up at most Corvette parts sites and even on ebay...Shop for best price....WW

Here's what you need if the motor in the unit still runs....

My power antenna went bad. Just replaced it with a standard non-power telescopic one. Goes almost flat into the body when I want it to.

if you live near Indianapolis, swing by the house and you can have the 91 power unit I have sitting in the back yard, no charge...well, maybe a 6er U could share with me,lol.
