Antenna question

[Texastopgun]

Okay I found this roadrunner that I'm thinking about buying but the antenna is in the rear of the car not the front. What gives? Any thought or idea as to what the reason for this is. I'm thinking it might be a clone, but the common cars used to clone the 1969 bird also have antennas in the front of the car.

The antennae in the rear is an old customizing thing left over from the fifties/sixties. It's not stock. Most likely someone added a radio and decided to put the antenna in the rear. It's easier than removing the fender splash panel too.

IMHO, the antenna is just one of the many things that are wrong with that car if you are concerned with originality.

I was going to pick it apart but lets just say its nice looking and Id drive it, but its far from correct if that's what your after

not a bad looking car, even with the nit picking stuff, but gawd make them take the belt molding off!!uke:

that molding is god awful and personally that color is awful, butterscotch, who paints a car that color. Got to the love the RR decals everywhere.

Butterscotch is a love/hate. I can't say I'd want that color myself, but with the right wheels and such it looks good in person.

All right now. Don't you be woofing on my Bahama yellow (butterscotch) now. :cool:
