Eddie I have the one I took off my 68 Cuda when I restored it. It's a fixed mast so I'm not sure if it is an original or not because all the new ones listed for my car are a telescoping mast. Would this one do you any good?
 
Is the radio antenna cable a permanent part of the antenna?

Is your radio AM or AM/FM. Telescopes are for AM/FM. Cables are removable but most times break soak the fiting in penetrating oil
over night.

Interesting. Not doubting you Zigs but was wondering where you got that information. I ask because I thought it was the other way around based on the basic antenna formula of 234 divided by the frequency equals the proper length for a 1/4 wave (the standard) antenna. In other words AM is a lot lower in frequency so it requires a much longer antenna than FM. I have never read anything to back this up but I'm a amateur radio operator and have designed and built many antennas thus my thoughts were when FM radios came into play they shortened the antennas to make them work better in the FM range. AM tends to be a stronger signal (in most cases) so it still works fine with a shorter fixed mast

Had my radio converted from AM to AM/FM
This winter by a fellow FABO that does restorations. My old AM antenna was a whip
One peace. When I researched FM antennas
I was directed to the telescope antenna. Seems to work great, not an expert.
