I'm not a fan of cats! I thought you were going to say it got under the car cover and scratched the car up real bad.

I never liked the OEM antenna on our Mustangs, because they always get broken.

I have a stainless whip antenna for a Granada on mine. I bought it on Ebay for 20 bucks. It is a NOS Ford part.

I do not, the damn thing just showed up on my doorstep when my girlfriend was over. I had planned on using for bait but that didn't work out.

A "Furball" is when you hit one at close range with a 12GA. Makes a nice "Furball". It seems that the cats have all but vanished in our neighbourhood. I guess the Coyotes are having them for lunch.

I am using one on my 06 GT, also deleted the antenna on the 68 and plan on using the hidden one's in the car once complete.

I removed the antennas to avoid these kids that enjoy wrecking someone else s property, the antenna is an easy target

I plan on deleting the antenna on my 69. I will be going with one of those hidden ones myself when I get around to adding a stereo to my car. I will say I don't like the antennas on the classics and I want to break mine off every time I see it. Problem is it would leave a hole on top of the fender which would not look any better.

Or you can get a power antenna like i did on my 68 coupe. mounts in same hole as original antenna and when the radio is not on it stays hidden but as soon as i turn it on it pops up. simple and discreet and no ugly *** antenna 24/7 when u dont need it up to begin with.
