Great pics and research Joe. I wonder how many of those were original on cars but got tossed thinking they were incorrect? I don't recall ever seeing one.

The few Chevrolet production totals I have show:
621 1971 Camaros received the NK-2 Custom Dlx.wheel.(not available w/Tilt column)
1898 1971 Chevelles received the NK-2 Custom Dlx.wheel.
9556 1972 Chevelles received the NK-2 Custom Dlx.wheel.
1971-72 Monte Carlo-Pass-Nova could've gotten em too,but I don't have those totals here right now.

No problem... steering wheels are my thing! I actually saw one of these in Carlisle for sale the same day I saw the Heavy Chevy with one in it and didn't buy it. You gotta admit, its a pretty ugly lookin' wheel, rare, correct, or otherwise!

Here's one that came new in a '71 Z28.

..and the window sticker to prove it.

A rare wheel for sure, but not terribly attractive. It was even confirmed that the one in this Z was ordered by accident when the original owner thought he'd be getting a 4 spoke style with the NK2 option instead. This one was removed on day one and swapped out with a 4 spoker.

WOW great info on the wheel> I'm glad I posted the question. Can't say that for the supposedly l89. I went back today to really look it over as I only saw the interior in a dark garage. Total fake with a fake build sheet.

No problem...Luckily my brother never deletes any old photos! I forgot all about that local 71 Z with that wheel. Looks like Bertfam has some new info and photos to add to his steering wheel report now...

Actually Joe, I didn't get into the 1970's wheels, with the exception of the NK1 since it was also used on the 69 Camaro. I also inluded information on other "sport styled" steering wheels, but only in reference to appearance and the differences between these and the Camaro wheels.

Kurt has had a cold for the last few weeks and hasn't finished editing the report, but he promissed it would be done "asap"!!

Stay tuned...
Ed

I was just kidding ya Ed... There's no better place for this info than right here on the sYc site anyhow.

If anyone is looking for one of these rare optional 71 wheels...drop me a line at [email protected] I know of a mint one that can be had if the offer is right. I know these aren't up for grabs too often, and it may be that "final piece" someone on here is after.
