71 GTX Hidden Powered Antenna Help

[gibber]

I just bought a new reproduction AM/FM radio for our 71 GTX clone. The old radio was a correct Mopar AM/FM radio for the car, but of course it wasn't hooked up and didn't work anyways.....The PO put fiberglass front fenders on the car so I'm thinking of a powered hidden antenna. Anyone have any luck with any particular brand working better than others?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Are you sure you even need a powered antenna? When I put a new stereo in my daily driver, the original power retractable antenna stopped going up (I didn't hook it up) and the stereo works just fine. The new tuners and electronics are pretty sensitive these days.

I'd be looking at this (they have other models too)

I don't really have any info to add about antennas, but with regards to fiberglass front-end parts, I would just like to say this. On the 70 T/A Challengers&AAR Cudas, the Factory moved the antennas to the rear of the car. It is my understanding.........and I could be wrong, that the fiberglass hoods cause interference. I'm not suggesting that you rear-mount the antenna, as I've never seen that on a 71 B-Body, but I'm just putting it out there so you're aware of it. Personally, I'm happy to just listen to my engine (seriously).
