Any chance, you recall the part # on the box?

This looks like a 67

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?






 

You show a 67/68 style. They are harder to find then the 65/66 style that sticks up a inch or show from the next section like in the sellers pictures.I am sure you can find someone to trade it out for the assemblyline 65/66 style if you so wanted to switch. As far a service replacement goes yes it is but not correct. The expectations in concours is for the correct for the year style.

Thanks Bob, until this discussion I wasn't aware of that detail...

Sorry, box is long gone but my notes say C5ZZ-18813-B. Don't remember if that was from a box/label or just research.

Looking through some of my records, I sold an actual '67 NOS Mustang antenna as a "65-66" without knowing about this detail.

I found the pic and just posted it, of the NOS antenna that retracted further down in its mast---the '67 antenna.

Maybe the NOS antennas in my collection got mixed up over the years? Who knows? I'll see "if" the buyer still has it and possibly attempt to swap the masts back? The buyer had a 65 Mustang convertible project at that time.

Worst case scenario, list this antenna as a "65 to 66" and as a "service replacement" for "67 to 68" Mustangs?

Or if it creates too much confusion with the part # on box and 67 instructions, I'll put aside as a spare part for myself.
