Antenna help needed

[StevenF]

I need to replace my manual antenna without  key  (it is rusted away)

I found a few choices---which is the right one--or please let me know if there is another I should purchase.

I can safely tell you the ebay units are wrong.  I bought one years ago and it's a mile off.  As for what is correct that gets a little trickier.  depending on how your car was optioned it would have either an automatic Hirschmann Auta 6000D which is near impossible to find in working condition or a manual Hirschman antenna from the same era like the one from Anthentic classics.   What I do know about the original is that there is a Hirschman logo which looks like an "H" in a shield design and the top of the antenna has 2 slots for use with a small forked key.  This feature may have a black plastic cap covering the antenna top it if you choose not to use the high security feature.  I "Believe" the one from Authentic classics is the correct one but you might want to call them to be sure.

Auta 6000D:

Michael,
I ended up buying from:

Ask for Tom
They have 2 versions--one is NOS from Germany (the one I purchased) and a less expensive Hirschmann from China
