Re: IML: 83EFI antenna



The $225 antenna was on consignment so we have little flexibility in the price and it was calculated by a computer. Our notes don't show where it was located so it is not available anyways. My apologies to those offended by the price. The only other option for us is to not offer these items at all, however, frequently items like this are worth it depending on the circumstances. There are only one or two new antennas that I know of under that number available in North America. If you wait until mid November you can purchase one from Arizona Parts for $145.

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.

  That was the $275.00 unit!!! NO antenna is worth that  much! Leo

    I did a search on www.partsvoice.com and see that    Collectors Auto
Supply in Oroville, WA and in Peachland, BC have at least one    in
inventory.  The phone number is 800/414-4462.  Weren't these    antennas
pretty common throughout the late 70s and 80s - used on New
Yorker/Cordoba/Mirada/Fifth Avenue/Diplomat?  I'd think that any
Chrysler/Dodge dealer should be able to locate a new one.       Neal
