The stock hole was enlarged at some point for an aftermarket antenna. When the body work was done the hole was filled. I didn't have the radio redone because I would never listen to it. when the car was finished, I turned on the radio and it didn't make a sound. I found out recently the antenna has to be hooked up and grounded for the radio to work. I connected the antenna, and the radio worked fine. The push buttons work but the wonderbar does not work. I like the car without the antenna, but I will install it at the request of the winning bidder. So, the radio does work but would need to be sent out to repair the wonderbar.\r\nThe weatherstripping between the soft top and the rear deck is missing. Ron Mangus, who installed the top suggested leaving it off so that nothing touched the paint. It has worked out well that way and kept the paint nice. I have the weatherstripping and it will go with the car.\r\nThe stuff inside the front fenders is a peal and stick product from 3M. it protects the body from rocks from the front tires.", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1741023501, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16975634, "authorName": "DUKE1948", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/duke1948/", "bidAmount": 55000, "content": "USD $55,000 bid placed by DUKE1948", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1741028577, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 16976935, "authorName": "GeorgeLyons", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/georgelyons/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "I had occasion to travel to California last year and visited my friend \"Art\" who built and owns this car.
