Re: Meet the Mean Ones!
[ QUOTE ]
I am still trying to figure out why Don ordered rear antenna on the Yenko Chevelles. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe just because it looked cool and was what Don was used to having on his Corvettes?

Re: Meet the Mean Ones!
69 Chevelle rear antenna was an extra cost option on AM only not available on AM FM. Probably only cost Don a few dollars to add but Don was always trying to keep the price down so seems odd to add it. I am glad he did because it does look cool.

[/ QUOTE ] According to our "1969 Chevrolet Passenger Car Prices" guide, on a Chevelle equipped with an AM radio (as the Yenko Chevelles were) the rear antenna was only $9.50 while the front antenna was $61.10...as suspected, Don was just keepin' the cost down.

Re: Meet the Mean Ones!
Wait, something's not right... you mean it was optional to get a front antenna OR a rear antenna? Whats standard with an AM radio then, NO antenna? I bet that reception was good.
 I'll bet it was 61.10 for the front antenna AM radio, and an extra 9.50 for the rear antenna option... unless it was the other way around, and the AM radio option came standard with a rear antenna... but I always thought the rear mount was an extra cost option.

Re: Meet the Mean Ones!
Was a radio even "standard" on a Chevelle? I've always heard the only options Yenko ordered on the '69s were AM radio, vinyl top, and power steering...maybe a radio, even a lowly AM, was indeed extra? And if ya get a radio, you gotta pay for an antenna...going through our dealer books and such, I can't find anything that says "standard" or "included" when dealing with radios...

Re: Meet the Mean Ones!
don't have any books here but I believe AM radio was an option and the rear antenna was an option. $61.00 sounds like the price of the whole AM radio
