A very rare, original GM 1969 Firebird power antenna!
Brand:GM

This is a very rare find!  This is a stock, GM, numbers matching power antenna for a 1969 Firebird, Trans-Am, (Camaros & Firebird 1967-68?) that was taken out of  a 1969 Firebird over 30 years ago. As you can see, this unit looks complete, and even comes with upper and lower fender pads, chrome nut and rubber o-ring, etc.  It was recently inspected, tested, lubricated, adjusted, and cleaned up and it works great!  The brushes, bearings, etc., were all checked out and are in great condition.  It extends and retracts smoothly and all the way as it should (from a length of about 9” retracted to 57” fully extended).  The power antenna switch works great, all of the wiring is in good shape, and it even comes complete with its difficult-to-find mounting bracket!

This antenna, although in very nice condition, cosmetically does have some small imperfections that you may want to address if you want to make it show quality.  The mast has good chrome, but does have a small round spot on the lower section where the copper shows.  (I think this may be a factory flaw.)  You have to look very closely to see the spot.  Also, the third mast section has a very small chip out of the very end, also difficult to see unless you look closely.  (I have included a close-up photo of this area.)  The antenna is not perfect, but is in cosmetically nice overall condition and ready to be installed as-is.  I have a schematic I found online that shows that this unit is numbers matching for a 1969 Firebird and probably Trans-Am as well.  (It's a pdf file titled 1967-76 Firebird Parts and Illustration catalog posted by teufert.net.  I can send you the link if you are interested; I just wasn't sure how to post the link or a copy of the page in this listing.)  Over the years I have looked at Firebird, Trans-Am, and Camaro antennas, along with other parts, and have never found a unit this nice or complete.  If you have a need for this very rare optional power antenna for your Firebird, Trans Am, or Camaro, this may be your only opportunity for a very long time.  There’s a good chance you will never see one this nice ever again!  It will be packed well and shipped fully insured so that it will arrive to you in good condition.  Thanks for viewing this auction!
