See the prior reply from "FrenchToast" - you probably have a "Radio Communication Antenna" for the pit crew to communicate with the driver. Mine might have had the same but was removed over the years. Would be interested to know if your antenna has a cable going to the radio or.....?

Generally (in this era), an antenna was only installed for endurance racing. Otherwise it was left out.

The motorsport antenna system would not have been available to the public. It would have only been available through the motorsport department. Calling it "factory" is a stretch - each motorsport order would have likely been custom configured to the team, regarding the antenna style and setup.

I had one of these clubsport shelves that I used for several years then sold on.
Frenchtoast's information is correct, it uses brackets from the ends of the shelf to the outer seatbelt receiver mounting points, but it also has provision for a centre bracket to the leading edge of the cargo floor. My shelf didn't come with this centre bracket and my car didn't have a point for the bracket to mount to on my car. With just the outer brackets the shelf wasn't very secure and moved around a bit so I wasn't comfortable with putting decent weight on it.
