Let me know if you have one. Trying to find a power antenna before swapping fenders.

Yeah, I saw that. Was hoping for one at a lower price. In general, radio reception is is better than ever so I may not ever need for it to extend.

I'm really curious what needs to be added to make it functional with the factory switch. I have a fixed antenna right now. Going for a power antenna swap.

I have one. Here is what I know about it. It was on a parts car that I bought. I ran it up and down and it worked. I'll ship it to you for $45.

Anything else that may help me wire it in? I don't know what segments of the harness may exist in a fixed-antenna vehicle. I already have the dash switch in a box.

If you have the antennae switch that goes in the dash, that is all you need. The power antennae plugs directly into that switch. I just checked the connection on  both parts that I have out of the car.

I have the switch (not installed). There should be connectors at both the fender and the switch to plug it all in?

I may get a chance to look under the dash on Sunday. I'll let you know.

The power antennae plugs directly into the switch. There is no other connection. I checked them again this morning.

Ohhhh, the antenna wire runs all the way from the antenna to the dash? I think I understand now. I figured there'd be shorter wires and a harness connection someplace.

Which car is this? I searched, but wasn't sure if you posted someplace about parting it out. Any other details on the other parts available from the vehicle?

I have two mostly complete 1987 Turbo Coupes  that I am parting out. One has blue interior and the other has the grey / raven color interior. I don't generally post here when parting cars out.  If folks like yourself are looking for a part that I have, then I will respond. I use mostly ebay and craigslist.

I'll try to review needs this week. Still looking for the antenna. Is there anything else needed to mount it to the car, versus the fixed antenna? I see there's some large bracket on the motor - how does that mount?

It mounts to a bracket on the inside of the fender.
