David T's Edmonton Alberta
I emailed David T's about a T-Top bag and 1987 Camaro steering wheel. They post they have been in business for 35 years specializing in Camaro and Firebirds and have parted 3000 cars.
They came back with a price of about $885 for a steering wheel and T-Top bag. Seems high to me, but if oem excellent condition then maybe not? A recovered wheel from hawks is $400 and reproduction bag is $230. I know people pay more for factory parts sometimes.
Thoughts?

Nice guy to talk to and all that but just too much to pay for what is essentially used stuff.
But, to each their own. I do have a David-T's t-shirt though.
By the way, I have a couple of t top bags. Not sure of their condition but I can dig them out if you're interested.

Re: David T's Edmonton Alberta
I’ve contacted them before to inquire on parts I needed and the prices they quoted were crazy high. I considered purchasing anyway because I needed the parts but they wouldn’t email me pictures before the sale to know what I was actually buying. I ended up looking elsewhere.

Re: David T's Edmonton Alberta
David greatly overprices his stuff. He's been in business so long b/c people cave and buy it. I urge you to avoid him if you can.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the urban sprawl engulfs his property. Its getting close...

Re: David T's Edmonton Alberta
Stay away from that goon and find an individual parting out a car. Might take a bit longer to find what you're after, but 80's steering wheels are much easier found than airbag ones, and ttop bags are typically a dime a dozen. Take a scroll through the project cars available on their website, and you'll know all you need to about their pricing and definition of "good condition".

Re: David T's Edmonton Alberta
I called him once and the pricing was utterly ridiculous. That's a hang up and never call back situation.

Re: David T's Edmonton Alberta
I have an extra T-Top bag and one extra passenger top glass.
Never been to David T's, he's been there forever. The guy who owned my '83 Z28 got all his stuff from them however so my car has a new nose cap and a few other things from them.
Prices for everything seem high but I've had my car listed on facebook for a while and no real interest at a reasonable price. Thinking of maybe getting it wrapped in holograph chrome. probably not but... I'm bored.
