1982 Collector Edition
Hi all.
New to the site and looking for antenna w/ CB for my 1982 Collector Edition Corvette. Anyone out there happen to know where could find one? A good used one or rebuilt? I currently have a Am/FM only working antenna, but I want to remove my after market and install a GM Delco AM/FM Cassette w/ CB unit that was offered as an option on the late C3s. There is a GM replacement model out there. I was told it is a full automatic antenna compared to the semi-automatic GM original. Has anyone installed one? Any thoughts?

I think you have to use a special ground plain CB antenna.

GM has a replacment part OEM number 12355706. Davie's Corvette website calls for all new wires and cable ; "Will not adapt to original connections". cbfb85fef9a1404dd7fd4f184baee4b9_2.jpg

welcome to CAC!!!!
enjoy!!!

have you checked e-bay????
if not there then perhaps at the corvettes at Carlisle weekend,the end of August.
heres a link to it...Corvettes at Carlisle - America's Largest Fun-Filled Corvette Show, All Generations C6-C1, Swap Meet, Vendors, Parts, Accessories, For Sale

I check eBay daily, but all I seem to find is 70's and 80's GM Cadillac power antennas with CB. There is one that's for a 78 Vette w/CB, but doesn't have the screw on fasteners at the top of the antenna mast (same with the early 80's Cadillacs).

GM does have a OEM replacement, however I was told it requires use of all new wiring since it is a fully automatic antenna vs. the semi-automatic factory originals to the C3s. Corvettes at Carlisle would be an option, but I may not be able to attend. :eyerole
