Well here are a couple of pictures of where the car stands today. Looks more like the donor car at this point than the one being saved.
If the car is gonna be all purdy and such, a shiney new antenna would be worth it. You'd just be upset looking at a used antenna sitting on that nice paint.I'm in shock of what I have paid thus far in repairs, $200 for a antenna is tough to think about right now.
Getting ready for primer and then filler work. Leaning toward B3 for color when ready for paintinig.

I remember looking into this when I first posted my cars tag, unfortunately I am just not a fan. To be happy with it all, especially when I get a new antenna (lol), I think it will end up being B3.Congrats on the progress! Your car, your choice. I like EB3 too, and it will go well with your blue interior.
This said... DL27L0D210381 is the only EA4 1970 Polara 'vert that AFAIK is still on the road (the other EA4 ragtop is DL27L0D137069 which, according to @polara71's 2008 spreadsheet, it has been repainted yellow). You may look at @Dga26 's EA4 SFGT to see how good that car looks after the original-color repaint.
Thanks for the input. Going to pass on the power antenna.That ebay antenna would be correct, the spring ones are aftermarket. You could also convert to a power unit, but those have the odd characteristic of not retracting all the way to appear broken.
Thanks, i think\(hope) I found something on ebay other than the NOS part.The factory antenna in 69 can be unthreaded at the base and removed (like to put a car cover on). The antenna is also telescoping.
