Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 Looking for location/dimensions for rear mounted antenna for my 1970 convertible. Want to do the Shelby style mount on the drivers side. Any suggestions, tips, ideas appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69ShelbyGT350H 61 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 The 1969 Shelby antenna was shipped to the dealer in the trunk of the car. It was the dealer that was responsible for drilling the hole and mounting the antenna with the supplied hardware. Some have said a template was included, but it seems nobody has been able to get their hands on one. Here is an image that shows the antenna as seen from inside the trunk.

Mike65 475 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 I am thinking of patching the hole in the r/s front fender & relocating the antenna to the r/s rear quarter on my 69 Coupe & using a power antenna. As far as a template for the antenna, I did PDI (pre delivery inspection) at a Ford dealership back in the late 70's & we did have to drill the holes in the r/s front fenders for the antenna's. The antenna kits that were in the cars came with a template to lay over the fender so the hole would be in the correct placement on the fender. Attached link was like the template that would come with the antenna. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69ShelbyGT350H 61 Report post Posted October 11, 2017 Best I can do is a google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=1969+Shelby&safe=active&rlz=1C1ASUM_enUS744US744&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwidrKXCrefWAhXJ6oMKHWutAtIQ_AUICigB&biw=1414&bih=969#imgrc=_ You will see the antenna varies in location.

1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted October 11, 2017 I wonder what that template was for? It's dated Feb 10 , 1964. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MustangRanch 14 Report post Posted October 11, 2017 Don't think it answers your question... but interesting.... http://anghelrestorations.com/uploads/3/1/7/6/3176630/antennas_v1.1.pdf There is a clickable image in there with clear instructions for shelby antennas though.

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 GT350.... thanks for the pictures. I will use them to scale off dimensions before I drill any holes.....! I am headed to large car show this weekend (Good Guys in Charlotte), and will keep my eye out for any I can get actual measurements from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SparkyGT 26 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 i cant remember what the measurements on my shelby FB are, i had quarters replaced, so i hope i kept the piece of metal somewhere, or my buddy put the hole in same location on the quarter. you can go here and ask as well. http://saacforum.com/index.php Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SparkyGT 26 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 heres what some said on saac about the antennas on the fastback rear quarters, seems it varies 4 inches from the edge of the endcap to center of hole. Dealer installed the antennas. Vinnie has the paperwork. It is funny to be at a larger Shelby attended show where you have a number 69/70 Shelby fastbacks in a row. It is a zigzag ed line if you look down the line of antennas. Finding two in the same location is most likely a coincidence or installed at the same dealership by the same installer I suppose.
