vintage red metal flake steering wheel wanted

**njsteve** · #1 05-15-2009, 04:28 AM

Looking for a vintage red metal flake steering wheel like this one, for my Dodge Charger. Just trying to annoy more of those restoration-only people at carshows.

The new repro ones just don't look old-school enough.

This one actually sold here last year but I didn't see the ad til it was already gone.

Anyone have a nice one out there?

Thanks, Steve

I wish I could help because I have a load of wheels from Moon Eyes that look just the same.

The new Mooneye/Grant wheels just dont have the heavy 1960's glitter effect that I so crave for my time machine. They seem to use a much finer metal powder than the old "bass-boat" heavy metalflake, candy apple look of the originals.

I think Frank(hvychev)--had one at one time that he was selling awhile back---don't know if he ever sold it---------

Gotcha Steve! I did not know that there was that much of a difference. WOW! That is nice.

They also made 3 hole versions. I can't remember what brand this one is but I remember buying it at PEP Boys in '68.

May be worth checking in w/ the VW/Dune Buggy crowd also old boat groups and any older marinas around as they were popular on speedboats of the era too...Superior brand maybe?.
