Comfort grip steering wheel on ebay is fake!
 

I was brought to my attention by Brandon Barr " Yenko memorabilia collector" that a person is selling a Yenko comfort grip steering wheel on ebay. The story behind the wheel is very imaginitive. Bottom line , this is NOT a comfort grip wheel, not even close. Beware...BKH

Is there anyway to tell when the steering wheel was produced? Are there any visible stampings to go by? This guy says it was on 'Vettes til 1975 but every he mentions is Yenko this, COPO that.......

The only time I know Yenko used a decal on the steering wheel is on the 81 Turbo Z cars with the special Racemark wheel. The wheel in the picture is not a comfort grip...BKH

Looks like a std. 69 and up sport wheel.It has the stainless band around the edge of the wheel.A comfort grip was a thicker wheel,no stainless around rim.It was available in 69 and 70 and most popular on the 70 GS & GSX Buicks.A very big difference side by side..

Oh, OK. I was just plain ignorant in this case. I thought those comfort grip wheels were buick only. Learn something new everyday.


Thanks for the info,
