Daytona Jeff Dec 20th, 02, 9:24 AM The guy you want is Dennie Turner
352-245-8446
Original GM antennas with all cabling and mounting hardware, mounting template.
Not cheap but it's right.
Don_Lightfoot Dec 20th, 02, 9:30 AM I may be wrong here, but I believe the "telescoping" antenna (AM only) would be the same whether it was mounted on the fender or the quarter.
These are indeed hard to find and I actually posted an ebay link in here a few weeks ago about a NOS one up for auction, don't know if any member bidded on it.
I think there's a guy in Florida that has some. Our member L89SEDAN has his information. Do a search and maybe send him an email to see if he still has the contact. These are not cheap by the way.
Good luck.
EDIT - this could be the same guy Jeff just mentioned ahead of me.

Bill Rose Dec 20th, 02, 9:55 PM Jeff, you hit the nail on the head.My NOS antenna came from Dennie Turner (352) 245-8346 Email-NOSantennas@aol.com This antenna is perfect.I think I was told at the time I bought this antenna that the 69 was different , but I can't remember what the differences are. It cost $152.00 (and they wonder why these cars are so expensive)...Bill

mkarstm Dec 21st, 02, 10:07 PM thanks guys! one more problem.. i have an AM/FM radio!!!!!!!!!! Does that take a different antenna?
Don_Lightfoot Dec 21st, 02, 10:10 PM For 69 it sure does. AM/FM radios used a fixed mast antenna and was only mounted on the fender, not available as a rear deck.

Bill Rose Dec 21st, 02, 10:28 PM Don is correct. I'm dying to put an AM-FM radio in my 68,but I want to retain the original AM (only) rear antenna...Bill

Don_Lightfoot Dec 22nd, 02, 10:49 PM Michael, I did that with the last car I did (69 Camaro) and used the basic telescoping AM antena and my FM reception wasn't too bad.
