 Will fit earlier 65 and 66 Mustangs too. Once installed, it looks very much like the earlier C5ZZ version

Asking $675 shipped with insurance in plastic tube in the U.S

Alex,
What's the best you can do including shipping (to Chicago)?

Does the top section ball go down flush with the section below?  I thought that was the identifier of the 67 only antenna? 

Thanks

As for the year, the part # on the kit, date of the instruction sheets, '67 fender templates in the box, and "C7Z"# cast inside the chrome bezel.

I also have a later NOS C5ZZ antenna kit with 1970 dates on the instructions and the chrome base is similar, but different in height with a "D0H" casting # inside the chrome bezel and the top portion of the antenna base is not beveled like the 60's versions of this antenna. Instead, the top of the base is machined flat for the later Ford Service antenna of the early 70's.

When I get a chance, I'll compare this antenna to the other NOS Mustang antennas in my collection. I'm curious to see, if there are any other differences worth noting.



Do you have an actual "67" antenna that demonstrates the feature you described?  If so, try to upload a picture.

Yes it does and the ball is chrome plated steel .303" diameter.

Given your other recent 67 oriented post you best confirm the mast retracts all the way down to the next section like the assemblyline 67 and 68 did. The picture posted shows it not retracted all the way down which is typical for 65/66 but not for 67/68.

I'm under the impression the actual "67" antenna with a mast that retracts further down is an "assembly line only" part? Everything in this kit refers to the year 1967. It looks exactly like the 65 to 66 antennas, but as far as advertising it, as those years will also cause some degree of confusion as to its correct application. I can only go by the Ford part # on the box and the 1967 instruction sheets in the kit. Plus, the cast pieces are "C7ZA" too.

I checked two other NOS C5ZZ Ford Service kits. All retract the same way and appear to be later offerings from Ford. One Ford NOS Service kit is dated for 1970 with instructions covering 1965 to 1968. Its chrome bezel has a 'D0H" casting #

The other Ford Service antenna kit appears to be dated in 1975 and has the contents of the 1967 NOS kit with "C7ZA" cast parts.

I might have one more '67 NOS kit in storage.

The distinct 67/68 antenna's were not assemblyline only. They were serviced that retracted in the same way . I have had many dozens over the years that retracted all of the way as expected for 67/68. I have had numerous 65/66 style like the sellers pictures. I have had and have now NOS 67/68 antennas. I will post some pictures. The separate ground plane attachment/bracket that has the nub that fits into the sheet metal notch/key way of the fender is the only portion that has a C7 number on it . The mast of the antenna doesn't have a engineering number just the Ford trademark. The only way to tell it from the two different styles is how the mast retracts. I have found the 67/68 style in C5 in the brown paper marked bags or marked boxes like pictured in the sellers ad. I have also found the 65/66 style in C7 marked bags and boxes. They fit the same and look the same with the exception of the how the mast retracts so I can only guess it wasn't a big deal if things got mixed up. You have to go by the appearance . One way is assemblyline correct for a given year and the other wrong. At concours venues knowledgeable judges know the difference ;)

Very educational thread. Is this the 67-68 unique antenna we're talking about? Recently installed this NOS on my 66 only because it was better looking than the repop that was there. While not assemblyline correct for 66 I assume it is a correct service replacement?
