1967 deluxe steering wheel

(1/6) > >>

7R02A:
Hello all,
I am trying to determine if I should restore my 67 deluxe steering wheel or purchase a reproduction.  I searched this site and found topics on the 65 and 66's, but not the 67's.  The questions are:
1.  Is the reproductions actuate and quality pieces?
2.  If I restore my original, who is the best company to do this?  Any idea on cost?

I am also missing the lower collar for my wheel and I have tilt steering.  I have been told that the collar is different between tilt and non tilt.  Dose anyone have a picture of both so I can see what it is I am looking for?

Thanks for any help in advace,
John

John,

I had the original deluxe wheel in my '66 fastback restored.  I don't have the company name on me at the moment, but the cost was $1100 back in 2009, give or take a little.  The rim had several cracks and the hub was rechromed.  In retrospect, start with the best wheel you can find if you want to have an original redone.  I think a lot of my cost went into having the chrome redone.

I have used the reproduction on a customer's car and it was very nice. I had mine restored in 2008 and I think it cost $650 It was really good. I guess in the end it is all in how much you want to pay and how good it needs to be.

Thanks to all that replied.  I'm still interested if anyone can tell me the differences between standard and deluxe lower collars or would have pictures for a car with tilt steering?
Thanks again.

I don't see any differences myself.  The second photo wheel on the bottom is from the tilt column in the picture, the one on the top is not, but I'm not 100
% sure of that.

Note that the center crash pad for the wood wheel is different (deeper) than the standard wheel.  I posted a picture comparing this in a previous post.
