You're probably looking for an original but I have a brand new reproduction with horn cap, hub, horn contact, and screws for sale. $299 plus what ever shipping is. I'll post up pictures if you or anybody else is interested. Thanks

I need a complete steering wheel guys.
The hub, cap, steering wheel.

I’m looking at the re-pop one, I think I might go that route I know they don’t look exact but they look pretty good for the money

Hey Johnny, did you find a nice OEM one or did you go repro? I had a decent OEM on my car before but it was really sticky and the front grain was gone. I was able to clean it up pretty good with 90% alcohol and it stayed good for several years until I sold it. It’s hard to find an original with good grain on the front so I settled with a reproduction. It may not be exactly the same as the original but it is pretty good and it’s nice to have some grain texture on the front where it can be seen.

Nice score! The repro wheel alone is $250 new. I bought mine slightly used for a good price so I can’t complain. Now you just need to get the car so you can install it. Do you plan on keeping this one long?

90% alcohol and what? I tried Simple Green and a Scotch-Brite pad on my red Starfire wheel. The stickiness came back in a week.

Just alcohol. I used the blue shop paper towels and I wiped it down until the rags stopped turning black. It has to be the 90% though, I know from others experiences that the 90% will remove tar or residue that the 70% will just smear. The car was parked in the garage and not exposed to the sun, so that may be why it didn’t come back. Still sticky free about three years later when I sold the wheel with only the one initial cleaning.
