I have had a lot of people inquire about the rear antenna with regards to the length and type of tip on the end. Our tip has NO grooves in it. I am not sure if that is a case of multiple suppliers (grooved vs non grooved) or another case of assembly line versus buying one over the GM counter. Our unit is oval as well and not round.
The overall length is approximately 46.5" with the two telescoping sections measuring in at 16.5" and 31.5". Notice also the base. Hope this helps those who have been wondering.

Huge shout out to Grady Burch for cutting one of his very valuable parts loose. As you can see in the photo, the correct NOS shift boot is on the left, my rat, mouse and racoon eaten original boot and the last photo is the more common replacement NOS boot. From what I know, the original boots are much thicker than the replacement boots and would cause the shifters to pop out of gear so GM replaced them with the taller, more bellows and thinner version. I remember this issue when I owned my 69 back in 1981, the shifter would always pop out of gear when you would take you foot off the throttle. I always thought it was the shifter or internal transmission issue when in fact it was likely due to the original boot putting too much tension on the shifter as it is so much stiffer than the replacement. Thanks again Grady for cutting this one loose as these are pretty tough to find.

That's a part someone could fairly easily have reproduced and would sell like hotcakes.

That is the problem with most reproduction parts, they produce and sell what is most commonly found or used as second design parts and not necessarily assembly line parts as they can cover a much broader audience as well as more years combined.

I just got my paper copy of MuscleCar Review with Jamie Cooper striping this bad ass ride on the cover!!!
I will be off the grid for a little while, an actual car magazine has so much real goodness inside!! (Of course I love the inteweb but a car magazine has some soul that can’t be reproduced just like a shift boot) Ryan W31

Our car had a Kentucky inspection decal on the window dated 1970. In the interest of keeping the car's history intact I hired a company to make the reproduction decal. I worked very close with the gentleman who made it demanding an exact copy and he got it as close as he could. It is really not as close as I wanted it but I have not been able to find anyone else who can make them so it will have to do for now. I guess I am just a little pickier than most.
