NOS steering wheel
« on: April 28, 2024, 00:02:52 »
Finally got around to installing this ivory steering.  I got it at an auction, still in its sealed box.  Cost me $150!  I think the shipping was almost as expensive.  This ivory really lightens up the interior.

Great buy, what a steal!

People want ridiculous sorts of money online.

Mine needs to be refurbished, but I have been keeping an eye out for a reasonably priced one, I’m yet to have any luck.

Len, great looking stearing wheel and shifter knob. And a great looking interior over all.

Thank you!  Love the color combo of your car.  I’ve also seen the same color combo on a 3.5 cabriolet and it was absolutely stunning.

BINGO!  I specifically didn’t mention it and I was waiting to see if anyone would notice. Very observant Rodd.
