Agreed. I would go to a wrecking yard or find a used source. Like the other member said, these antennas were the same used on just about all Chryslers through the end of the '80s that had power antennas. My 87 New Yorker has the same unit as my 82 Imperial coupe, as did my 88 NY 5th Avenue. New Yorkers of the late '70s-late '80s are plentiful enough these parts are still common. I would not pay more than a couple bucks for an entire unit w/ mast ($10 or $20 tops). $275 is not only ludicrous, but downright highway roberry. If it were me, I'd head down to my local wrecking yard and pull one myself from one of the countless '80s New Yorkers that are junked there. They'd probably charge $7 at the absolute most. I once pulled a working digital ATC dash unit/computer for my 87 NY for $5. The Chrysler dealership quoted me $650.00 on that part, brand new. That was over two years ago and that used ATC is still in my NY today working like it was brand new. I'd say I got my $5 worth. > That was the $275.00 unit!!! NO antenna is worth that much!
