<VV> 1965 Corsa Rear Antenna installation

[Bill Hubbell]

Charlie,

This looks like a great "original" car. It's fantastic that you have the original window sticker.  Thanks for documenting the rear antenna installation.  It would be great to document any other unique original features.  If you want to send me any photos, text, etc I will be happy to post them on the Stock Corvair Group website.

Attached are some shots of my 1965 Corsa Rear Antenna installation, from a
car I recently acquired that was sitting since 1992 up on the hill,
fortunately in the California sun.

The 2nd "owner" bought it to strip the engine for a dune buggy, and just
left the rest of the body outside, where it just sat for 22 years.

Anyway, it has the 3U73AA no-cost optional Rear Antenna installation
according to the original winder sticker I got with the car (attached).

I hope that this is an original that may answer your questions?

Charlie

The original rear antenna on my 1965 Corsa had a connector at the  antenna
end of the cable that unscrewed from the antenna similar to a  speedometer
cable.

My  original (and GM replacement) rear that the cable of  mount came with a
cable attached.  (The original mount corroded badly from water
infiltration.  I found another rear mount, probably for a full-sized  Chevy,
to replace it.)

I've never tried to take the mount apart to see  how the cable is attached.
While I am curious, it's one of those cases of  "if it isn't broken, don't
fix it".
