holy cow - went through my olds stash

Since I have been just trying to enjoy by convertible the last 5 or 6 years instead of working on it or paying someone else to screw it up I haven't really paid attention to my parts closet. Since I've been back on the forum lately I decided to look for a few parts for folks.

Of course I can't yet find those parts as they are probably hidden in the attic but when I went through a box this weekend what did I find

NOS heater control switch
NOS coil
NOS child safety locks (from 60s?)
NOS under seat waste basket
NOS front seat deluxe seat belts
extra mirror with map light
71 oil cap
70 electric trunk release set up
TCS solenoid
NOS 4 SSII bolt-on center caps
NOS 1970 cruise control bellows (3 of them, one is labeled Jaguar - I forgot they are the same)
repo W30 manifold
NOS Ground straps for the OIA hood
bunch of wiring harnesses

and wait, wait for it........





NOS sport steering wheel
70 W30 automati distributor

Most of these items I don't even remember getting - it was like a surprise birthday gift.

I went to someone's house that had 4 of those sport steering Wheels still in the factory GM box. Everyone was so sticky on the black rim section it could not be used .

Steven what's your method for cleaning the sport wheel? I had one in the past that was great barely sticky at all, my current one I've cleaned w dawn n hot water several times and its sticky about a month later.

Also there was just a wanted ad looking for nos ss2 car caps.

He sold all 4 them at a show Sunday (Sumnter County-Fla). I sent you a PM with another phone number of another person I know that has a few as well. same as those in the factory box.


I know several ways to clean them up but the sticky always returns. What trick do you know?
