Re: IML: 83EFI antenna

[Nat Hall <nathall@xxxxxxxx>]

Agreed. I would go to a wrecking yard or find a used source. Like the other
member said, these antennas were the same used on just about all Chryslers
through the end of the '80s that had power antennas. My 87 New Yorker has
the same unit as my 82 Imperial coupe, as did my 88 NY 5th Avenue. New
Yorkers of the late '70s-late '80s are plentiful enough these parts are
still common. I would not pay more than a couple bucks for an entire unit
w/ mast ($10 or $20 tops). $275 is not only ludicrous, but downright
highway roberry.

If it were me, I'd head down to my local wrecking yard and pull one myself
from one of the countless '80s New Yorkers that are junked there. They'd
probably charge $7 at the absolute most. I once pulled a working digital
ATC dash unit/computer for my 87 NY for $5. The Chrysler dealership quoted
me $650.00 on that part, brand new. That was over two years ago and that
used ATC is still in my NY today working like it was brand new. I'd say I
got my $5 worth.
