Tilt and Tele

I used to have a 66 olds 98 holiday coupe. great car! It was loaded, had a tilt and telescoping steering column. When I junked the car, years ago, I saved the column. It's still in my attic. Does anyone know how rare an option this was, or what it's worth today?

They were actually pretty common on the big Oldsmobiles and Toronados as they were the only tilt column option available that year.

A nice one in a good color, complete with turn signal switch, should go for $125 or so, maybe more depending on color. The kicker is that will only work on a 1966 or 1965 Olds. Chevrolet offered it on their 1966 big cars but the column and wheel are much different. I don't think Pontiac or Buick offered it at all.

I had a 66 98 LS that was wrecked and used the tilt/tele on my 65 J88.

Sold it in 2010 for $125. Chrome was perfect and color was black.

Only downside is the turn signal switch setup was not that strong.
