Aftermarket Power Antenna Kit for an 81, maybe other years
When I bought my 1981, the previous owner provided this aftermarket power antenna kit he had purchased for the car from AntennaX.com, but "never got around to installing."
The antenna itself is a Metra AntennaWorks Universal (Model# 44-PW22)
It was billed to me as having been purchased as a complete kit with wiring for the 81 Vette, with an additional mast included as well. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a LONG way from being an expert on auto wiring!
Since I was having other electrical/wiring issues with the car, I ended up letting my local Corvette shop work on the car. They went ahead and installed an antenna they had on hand while they were working on it, so I no longer have any need to keep this one laying on the shelf. I have no clue personally if the kit is everything you'd need or not, so you might have to do a little homework on your own. Also not sure if this kit/wiring would work with other years besides the 81.
Here is a link to the install instructions provided with the kit (in addition to the printed instruction shown in the picture above): Installation Link
Asking $50 shipped (within US only) for everything shown in the picture above.
