Wow...I could get 400 for mine..especially since I'm going to swap the sport wheel in anyway..LOL

Someone must have alot of money to spend :rolleyes:

Shoot ..... I knew I shouldn't have pitched mine 14 years ago. Well, like they say, hindsight is 20/20.

HUH.....Mine just went to the dump over the weekend........ :rolleyes:

Its all in the presentation. If you're going to run an eBay auction, that's the way to present the item.

Anyone have a red one for a 65 Malibu SS? I'll pay 10% of what the other one sold for !

Bottom line is supply and demand. Its very difficult to find a mint condition original GM 69/70 wheel these days. (I know, I've looked for one myself) I bet none of you threw any mint ones away... 90% of these are broken, cracked, and generally junk. If someone is doing a quality resto, and doesnt want to use reproduction junk, they need this, then they'd be glad to get it for whatever price it cost. I agree the price is pretty high, but i think youre going to see these "detail" type items only increase in cost as the supply of good original GM stuff diminishes.

I think they say in the auction "reconditioned" which likely means fillers, paint/dye, etc etc...not NOS.

Jagarang has a very good point I would be very careful with reconditioned from someone I don't know -- might be great wheel and then it is worth the money -- we know it's not NOS but could be POS

If you guys would RE-read the description, you will see that the only thing mentioned as being "reconditioned" is the shroud, meaning he repainted the silver trim that wore off in 10,000 miles. The description notes SPECIFICALLY that it has not been redone. I quote:
"There are no significant scratches, no cuts, no breaks, no armoral, no paints, no clear coats. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being mint) I rate it a 9!!"

From what i read, (and see) It is a very nice condition original wheel that had been cleaned up and had the trim repainted. The description never calls it NOS, it says its a nice original wheel, and the seller offers 100% money back guarantee if not satisfied. i don't see what the complaint is, other than he was smart enough not to throw his away, and actually clean it up and sell it to someone who needed it. tongue.gif ;)

Are there any companys and/or places that sell steering wheels remotely close to original?

I think that is where guy's like Jay Leno come in .
they have some shmoe sit and bid no matter what it cost for his car stuff.
he makes it clear he likes ebay..and has deep pockets.
600.00 dollars for a wheel .. that buyer should use that money for a shrink
