NOS Steering Wheel

Hi,

In anticipation of someday restoring my '87 IROC, I purchased a number of parts from the dealership before they were no longer available. I knew that the steering wheel would "wear out" one day and not be available any longer. So, some time in the early '90's, I purchased a brand new GM steering wheel for my car. I never installed it. It's still in the GM box and is still wrapped in factory plastic. It's been stored in the house (climate controlled) this whole time. It's absolutely pristine.

I see that Hawk's will now restore these wheels to the tune of about $414. I don't remember what I paid for mine, but I think it was at least $250.

I no longer have the car, but I want to see this wheel to go to a good home. There's no point in my hanging onto it any more, as I don't foresee building another one (though the idea does cross my mind from time to time). Anyone wanting to do a top notch restoration needs this wheel.

I like to think that a pristine original GM wheel is worth more than a restored wheel, but I'll consider any reasonable offers.

Re: NOS Steering Wheel

I do believe you are supposed to post an asking price. Also, I think you were correct about your original purchase price, as they were somewhere in that range. But as time went on, I think the price ended up around the $400 range before they were all gone.

Re: NOS Steering Wheel

I posted this almost on a whim. I hadn't visited Thirdgen for a LONG time...

But, I do need to let go of the wheel (so to speak ). And I obviously need to post pictures. I'll take care of that shortly.

Thanks.

Re: NOS Steering Wheel

I thought I had a buyer, but he disappeared. So, it's still for sale.

$400 plus shipping, firm.

Re: NOS Steering Wheel

My new post apparently prompted the original buyer into action, because he sent me the money. The wheel has been sold and shipped.

Thanks for your interest.
