Does anyone know if a whip style (1960's) radio antenna can be replaced with the modern Shark Fin style antenna ? (whats involved ?) I will be using a aftermarket radio with a CD player like a Pioneer unit.
If all you need is am/fm, there are some hidden antennas that work. I used one attached to the firewall under the hood. https://www.amazon.com/Bingfu-Unive...2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfbXRm&psc=1
Modern car antennas are often cabled with RG-174 coax, and are terminated with a Molex Fakra connector. The antenna whip connection would be male. You might need an adapter, or adapters to get everything connected, along with an antenna cable. Keep in mind that many shark fin antennas are amplified, so you would need to run an accessory lead, or antenna/amplifier power lead to it. All of the cables and adapters are on Amazon.
Imagining what might've happened if you tried to look to your left or right at speed... Did it help to keep you from fishtailing?
you guys are pretty funny , it was COOL at the time , although if I ran into 22 year old me now I’d probably smack the stupid right outta me !!
Hahahahahahaha... All in good spirit. I like when we get a little stupid over the holidays. Happy 4th, everyone.
Triple OG... & I love a lowrider but Id still ditch those. Or at least move em my collectible shelf of cool **** I like but dont want on my car.
Stick one of those shark fin antennas on either side of the roof just above the rain gutter and prepare for take off.
Need to be careful with Aussies around those antennas... or anyone from the Harlem Warlords: Cheers, Harv
