I have looked all over the place for a picture of the steering wheel on my car to see what they were typically installed in. It is a black plastic, three spoke wheel with two horn buttons. There is a small chrome ss emblem in the middle of the wheel. Also, the handle has horizontal lines going about half way around the wheel.


Anyone know where I can find info on this wheel?

Sounds like the 68 Deluxe Wheel. The horizontal lines make the wheel hard to refurbish and, as of today, is not reproduced.

I have the same type of wheel in my R.S. with deluxe interior and it cost me $250 Can. to have a guy repair my badly cracked California cars plastic. He used a heat gun with a welding compound to bond and essentially glue the wheel together and then gave it to my paint guy to blast it with some interior color and clear coat. It looks a lot better than it did.

My car also came with that st. wheel & Deluxe interiors. It was damaged, so I filled the cracks with epoxy, sand the filling down and then instaled a Wheelskins leather cover. :thumbsup:

I just pulled one of these 68 wheels off my car, Deluxe interior type, had a few cracks in it. I decided to go with a nice aftermarket wheel, watcha think? Picked it up on eBay couple weeks ago for a song, I like it! I'll put the old 68 Deluxe wheel in the classifieds, it's black, PM me if you want it! KZ

Yes, the only difference is the mini SS in the center. Thanks.

I got a N30 Deluxe Wheel from http://www.oldmusclecars.com/ today. I have the same wheel as up above with the plastic shroud and 2 horn buttons. I tried to fit the shroud over the new wheel but unfortunately it didn't fit. It was so close. My old wheel is seperated in 3 different areas and has major stress cracks behind the wheel where all 3 points meet. It's beyond repair. So I either have to just buy a horn assembly and cap or keep searching for a replacement. The plastic shroud I have is in excellent condition so I'd love to find another wheel. Anyone with one or know of a reproduced one please let me know. I keep checking e-bay for one but all I find is shrouds or wheels that are all cracked up.
