73 external antenna delete.
If i removed the external antenna on the rear deck do I simply unscrew the Assembly ? What can I hook the lead to so I can keep reception from the antenna in the dash ? Is there some sort of kit or will I need to make something up ?

If you do not like the looks of the stock fixed mast, you could install a power antenna.

Thanks mike. Yes....not liking the fixed mast antenna. Would prefer a cleaner look and no antenna visible at all. Convertible so i cant run something on the window. Was thinking maybe there is an aftermarket solution someone has tried to use with luck...

The old school way to cheap easy fix is go to the hardware store and get a stainless plus the same size. It looks like a little chrome button covering the hole. I'll do that until the repaint.

FWIW: the 53-55s had the antenna embedded in the trunk lid. You might wig up something similar using the underside of the rear surround panel or, possibly, the back wall of the underbody. Raise the deck lid and take a look at mounting something on the under side.

someone on here disconnected the rear defroster and user the grid as an antenna. think outside the box. there is a product known as an invisible antenna. i just use satellite radio.
