Darrel..take alook at your antenna.. Any GM with that same looking mast/motor should work fine. Then simply change the mounting bracket.

The easy way is to find a 99 Bonneville. I've done that with both of mine.

Want it to last?

Drill out the rivets on the donor antenna, clean out all the old grease, and re-grease with lithium grease. Then put it back together with machine screws and nuts.

It'll outlive you and your car.

This is silly. The car came with a nice feature and there'* no need to remove all the things that break. Heck.. because my motor stops working...I'm not going to replace it with a pedal power system.

Putting a fixed antenna mast on a car is ridiculous. My 99 power antenna has been working great on the Zilla for 5 years since I replaced it. And it only cost me $10 at a wrecker.
