My Cutlass steering wheel is too far gone to restore anyone have a decent one for sale?
Not sure if it makes a difference but I think my car came with the Deluxe package that might have had a different wheel.
Thanks

The Koch's steering wheels are not rebuilt or restored or repaired. They are recast, and that is a big difference. They will take the wheel and strip all the old material off the steel core and then recast the wheel using the original molds. To me, that's worth it when you see the finished product, they're gorgeous. |

Jeff would know he was the middle man for a wheel that was redone for Ralph in Germany not that long ago. I donated the wheel and Jeff sent it off to Koch and then to Ralph when it was done. They are about $500 if I'm not mistaken. That may seem high, but if you saw it, you wouldn't think so because the way they come out is amazing. |

That's actually cheaper than I thought it would be. I figured it would be closer to 1k

I have an original '64 Cutlass 3-spoke black wheel on a parts car that was sitting in storage for ~20-25 years. The chrome on the horn bar is pitted and it has the beginning of a crack where one spoke connects to the outer rim. If interested, e-mail me: drolds1@bellsouth.net. I'm in south Florida. Thanks, Bob.  |
