Looking for a 1969/1970 Shelby Antenna (C9ZZ-18813-C)

They are out there. There are a few people selling them on ebay however those seem to be the ones that look exactly correct but they are missing the connection inside to the mast consequently they do not function as a antenna for your radio. If you only care about the look but don't care if your AM radio works then those are a alternative. You can tell the difference by looking into the coaxial port . If you don't see a center pin in the opening then you know it is the made up out of parts one that will not receive signal for your radio. It is however concours correct for judging as long as there is not a operational check. Here is one such no signal antenna for sale. https://www.ebay.com/itm/315762891605 500.00 is the going price for these. Notice the empty hole with not center pin where the antenna coaxial cable screws in.Just want to help with info so that you can make a informed decision.
Thanks for the response Bob. I saw that one on ebay. It's also missing the coax cable lead, nut, and metal strap.
I recently had the strap made 100% correct like my original as it is unique and never serviced by ford
One of the sellers of the PM300 antenna's also sells the upper mounting hardware with special nut. You can find the Ford marked coaxial cable but you will have modify the end going into the antenna with the proper connector. Of course it only needs to look the part if the antenna is not functional anyway. That screw on end has been hard for me to find last time I looked but fortunately for me I haven't had a real need to source one. Consequently I haven't put a lot of effort into finding them. They may be relatively common for all I know.

Bill ,this sounds like a alternative for the OP if you are so inclined. Best of luck to both you and the OP.
Found an old "Snyder" auto antenna on ebay

Wonder if that coax cable and connector/nut is compatible with the PM300 stalk.

It looks too small from my perspective.
Here's another possibility. Difficult to find a spec on the nut size.......

That looks more like it but hard to tell for sure.
Ed, do you have the antenna strap for sale ? I need one
rdmgt500, sent you a PM regarding antenna.
Thanks
Adrian Jacobs

No. I don't have any parts needed for the ground strap.
