73-77 Cutlass sport steering wheel

Can anyone confirm ( havent found sure answer from web)
that in 73-77 Cutlass the sport steering wheel option is that 4-flat-spoke "butterfly" style wheel?

I have sport steering wheel in options, but somehow i think that the steering wheel i have isnt it. Mine is with one horizontal spoke running from other side to another, and i think its normal wheel?

Thanks

RPO N-34 was the same 15" diameter four spoke sport wheel used from 1970-77 on the Cutlass line. Black rim only. The Starfires got the smaller diameter four spoke wheel that was color matched to the interior.

Thanks for fast reply.

So then i do not have my original wheel on Place ( missing 8-track player too..)

Anyone have seen steering wheel manufactured By Parts Place inc?
They describe it as first re-manufactured sports steering wheel for Olds, and with a fast sight it did look atleast for me enough good copy. Price was something about ~250USD

if your looking for an 8 track i have one for sale pm for details

i havent seen the partsplace wheel in person but it appears to be a reasonable reproduction.

the 4 spoke sport wheels come up for sale fairly regularly

there is also a smaller diameter sport wheel that sometimes gets mistaken for the 70-77 sport wheel

Okay. I think ill take the hit and order that steering wheel, then we know.

OT: Thanks for offer about that 8-track, ill keep that in mind.
Since im on verge about my whole audiosystem, i like to listen radio, but windshield-antenna and old radio.. Well you can quess how well they find and keep signal. I might build just new electronics and use face-plate from old radio + hide better antenna to car.

I have aftermarket am-fm radios in my 71 and 70 with the factory antenna in the windshield and they work great for fm reception. I put the radio in the glove box on the Convertible and just mounted under the dash in the Vista. (It's a beater) I always wondered if you could mount a aftermarket unit in a factory 8 track mount, I'll bet it could look pretty nice.
