Buy Steering Column Oldsmobile 88

Hi! I am from Russia looking for a GM steering column with an automatic transmission shift lever. On their Soviet car In Russia, two have already implemented gm steering column in the same car as mine.

I will attach photos of the steering column.

I think about the amount of $ 50-80, my delivery will cost me $ 80-100 with the purchase in no hurry.
I have heard that in the USA it is not so easy to get it either. ready for a deal April-May

What year column you looking for?
You better be prepared to spend $150-$200 for a tilt column. I have never sold one for less than $150.

I have a '78 Le Mans (A body) column. Auto, on column, with Key, Tilt. $125. Plus shipping. This is usually confused with "G" body but the metric downsized chassis did not become "G" body until either '81 or '82.

Maybe provide some measurements ( in inches please) , Columns are harder to find the older the the vehicle. Columns also different sizes, depending on year, model. You need to be more specific, measurements would be a good starting point.

Le Mans is the Pontiac version of the Chevy Malibu. 78 - 81.

Am going to venture the "purple" column in your post is a late eighties FWD column, although am no expert on those cars. 85-89 GM BOP full size. This is the '78 Pontiac Le Mans column. A body car. RWD metric downsized chassis. No wiper / washer on stalk, that came in '81 or '82. It is tilt, auto shift on column. This column used a ONE year (1978) lower shaft, the connection to the lower "intermediate" shaft is different from '79 to '87/'88 from what I've learned. Otherwise it fits all 78-80/81 GM A cars without wiper washer on stalk.
