Help on a CB Antenna

[Hesster]

I have a 1977 Bandit Trans AM - the real thing. I want to install a CB antenna similar to what was used in the Smokey and the Bandit Movie as a prop. I know the correct antenna was a AS MR 276, which is hard to come by. Or another option for a VERY close look alike is this set up which a fellow Pontiac forum member proposed"
IC20-B - Hustler 44" Roof/Deck Mount CB Antenna With Spring, and replace the coil with NOS Vintage Antenna Specialists K-46 Low Band Replacement Load Coil 30-36 MHz.

So my question is I really do not want to drill a hole in my roof to mount these CB antennas, and is there a MAGNETIC Base adaptor which can be used to interface with either of these selections? I do not care if it is functional, as it is for the "look" at car shows.

The A/S low band coil and a replacement whip can look just like what you are looking for. You can get the roof mount off eBay cheap and A/S did make a chrome magnet mount for those. I'll see if I can find one.

Any help? How do I mount the AS Low Band Coil to a Magnetic base? I am unfamiliar with the coil interface, and would it screw onto any magnetic base, held with a bolt, etc?. The link has a pic of the coil, and one of these pics show the bottom of the coil.

I always thought it was a mag mount to begin with just because of this scene where it falls off. I guess I never really paid much attention otherwise

They say the original was a MR276 non magnetic roof mount. And not available anymore, except on EBay with a ridiculous price.

If you get the period A/S magnet mount the antenna coil just screws onto it.
