Need a standard steering wheel for a '72

    I would like to find a standard steering wheel for my '72 Skylark (like the wheel shown in the picture below). I need one that is a darker brown than the one shown, but will consider any color if the steering wheel is in repairable condition as I can repair it and paint it to the color I desire.

    Gary & Gary,
    I spoke with a former owner today and he said the hood was repainted by a later owner which explains why it doesn't look as good as the rest of the car. He also said they ran the car at the track, 10.30s in the 1/4. I drove it for the first time yesterday, man that thing really roars when you mash the loud pedal. I was afraid the cops would come by after I made a trip around the neighborhood. I'm sure my neighbors love me now. I will probably take the 1 chamber flowmaster's off soon so they won't hate me.

    I'm surprised the temptetion didn't get you sooner. :laugh:
    Probably ran mid 10's with the race motor,low 11's or high 10's will probably be realistic with the current motor,especially since I went 11.4@120mph with no bite and 90 deg temp
    Did the wife try to "shoe" it yet?Does it seem quicker than the 67?

    I just checked again, I didn't get a PM from you. Not sure why it didn't come to me, but anyway I still would like to purchase your wheel. I will do my best to send out payment tomorrow.

    P.S. I live near a guy that is referred to as "Fast Edie" but at 9.16 you have him covered by a full second!
