ANTENNA STEM FRANKLIN MINT PLY GTX
I just won the auction on a absolutely beautiful Triple Black 71 Ply GTX. The only flaw this car has it's missing the upper antenna from the base. Does anyone out there have a replacement that would make this beauty perfect?

You might try one of the Revell 1/24 plastic kits. I have a bunch including a '71 Satellite I think; if I get time today I'll look at a couple and see if they have decent antennae parts.

Gary, if Bob can't find something for you I have some insect pins that a friend in Japan sent me and they work beautifully as replacements. They are very stiff but thin and even have a little rounded top so they are quite convincing. They just need to be cut to desired length. I would be happy to send you one if you like. My email is:
