1968 - maroon gut RR - plain steering wheel with chrome horn ring and maroon horn center cap. Would the plastic steering wheel be black or maroon? Did they have maroon in 68?

thanks

maroon, but they called it red

got a pic?

I just read a story in an old MCG. was about an original owner '68 GTX Maroon with maoon interior. came from the factory with a black wheel and a maroon horn pad. then they got letters from guys with maroon Super Bees,Chargers,nd road runners, all '68s. some had a black wheel, some had the maroon wheels. another case where Ma put on whatever was in the parts bin at the time.

Hi Mike, do you have a broadcast sheet for the car??? That's the only way to know what color wheel was supposed to be installed on the car at the factory.


Anything other than a code on a broadcast sheet is just an opinion and you know what they say about opinions? LOL

I'd go with a woodgrain wheel and maroon center..

Or a wood grain style wheel (They have the same spokes as the wood grain wheels but there aren't any stainless rings around the rim) painted Maroon with a Maroon center cap. Here is one I did for FURYDAVE in his blown Fury.

.... Or a real wood grain wheel painted a color , say Black or Maroon like this one I did for Magnumcharger (Robin of Deora replica fame).

I like the look and ideas - I will probobly go with a woodgrain and maroon center cap. I don't really like the original 68 standard wheels which i'm sure mine would have had. No build sheet -
thanks for the ideas

Just like this, insert Maroon horn cap and away you go

I can now re-plate the spokes in a satin chrome so any wheel can be brought back to life no matter how pitted and rusty the spokes are.

I swapped out the woodgrain wheel out of my Polara and put it in my Coronet looks nice. The original steering wheel had some cracks in it.

Here is a Green wheel I did for a customers 69' Formula S Barracuda.
