    Looking around I have seen this same wheel on the Corvettes of the same area, but never on another Sportwagon. Out of curiousity, where these an option? (I suppose I should probably ask on a Buck forumn, but what the heck).

    Thanks,

    Bill

    I think that is a correct steering wheel. I think the GS's had those.

    Be aware that the A-body sport steering wheels are not the same as the Corvette wheels. The Vette wheels have a deeper dish.

    I have this one (Grant) in my 68 Wildcat:

    It is not the original steering wheel and I'd love to find one.

    Thanks, it did look like the 'Vette steering wheels were deeper dish.

    More just curious than anything at this point. The Sportwagon is sitting in a barn while I decide what to do with it.
