The column and steering wheel are black. Should the column and wheel be red like the rest of the dash? Thank you. Master, again and still

IIRC, 67 A-body has the same dark red. 69 red is a bright red and totally different. Just curious, is your interior standard or deluxe? I have some example pictures of 68 cudas with white and dark red ineriors BTW. My 68 was originally white and dark red std interior.

It was a /6 car and probably 3 on the tree. It is now 360/4sp. I would guess they changed the column to get rid of the shifter. I wished they hadn't. The car was a stripper when new. /6, stick shift, bench seat, radio delete. I would like to find a nice steering wheel in the right color for it. Otherwise, I will paint the one I have when I paint the column covers. Thanks for the help, guys. Master, again and still

Very tough to find a colored wheel thats not fades. Easier to find an uncracked wood wheel, but I'd think an uncracked wood wheel would sell for more. Check the repro wheels from BEAparts and pgclassics.

Could you post some pictures of that plate? I've seen some repro's advertised for sale. But I'd like to see what you have.

Usually soft trim like padded dash, horn button, arm rests are a slightly different shade than injected molded platic parts and different than painted metal of course. 8003267-PICT3200.JPG (35 downloads)
