There's a lot there to love. That is one clean beauty! What a find!Absolutely LOVING the car!
The Chrysler factory AM/FM/CB looks like this one below. The first year for it was '78 I believe, and for only that first year, Chrysler had the power retracting transceiver antenna. In '79 and later years, it was a fixed transceiver antenna (picture below). There was no single unit that combined the CB and 8 track player, so if the original buyer wanted both, the dealer (or the buyer) would have had to mount a separate CB unit. Is the CB unit that you have a Chrysler unit? The Motorola mic makes me suspect that it is not a Chrysler unit even if it was installed by the dealer. The Chrysler mic on the AM/FM/CB units hung on a black plastic hook that pushed into the hole used for the phillips screw on the dash to the right of the center A/C vent and heater controls (pic below).It appears to have a dealer installed CB radio in it. The factory AM/FM/8-Track is intact, and there's a Motorola Mic with controls on it hanging from the tuning knob. Has anyone ever seen this prior?
Thanks Man. I love it. Right now it's a sunshine only car. I washed it day 2, and the T-Tops leak to the point of flooding the Leather seats. So NOT cool!WOW! I'm just completely flashed. What a nice car - especially with the T-Top.
...and no rust! Thank God!Beautiful! Red in and out and T-tops it doesn't get much better then that!
Dude, I LOVE your coupe! 80-82 was such a sharp looking 2 door!Not sure I can add anything else the others have said already...but man, that's one nice looking ride!
I agree with LSM360's advice, look around, eBay will have something eventually and if you're in no rush, well, decent price can be spotted.
Are you looking for just the solid antenna piece, the mast? Hmm, I wonder if I have something...let me look around...the one I have on my coupe right now is an aftermarket one that's actually shorter and appeared to be stiffer than the factory piece...but then again, it's been a few years since I tossed it on, so it could be just my memory going "funny"...LOL!
Nice ride...enjoy!
The CB is definitely aftermarket. It's a Motorola unit. My Father put the same unit in the Bradley GT we built when I was 11. In digging through the paperwork I got with the car, the purchase date was after purchase, but prior to delivery, which makes me believe the buyer arranged to have it installed by the dealer. Whats left of the Antenna is definitely NOT a factory fixed antenna, as it has the 2 claws" that bite under the fender.There's a lot there to love. That is one clean beauty! What a find!
