Some (not all) 69 standard wheels have a pebble grain texture on the rim face itself... between the 2 grooves, running the entire circumference of the wheel. I have never seen a 70 wheel with this grain, and believe it was discontinued entirely by the 70 production year. As far as finding an NOS one on ebay, it is very rare. i have not seen any colored NOS ones on there either... These wheels were made is a wide array of colors in 69 and 70 to match virtually every interior combo avaialble, including oddball Impala interior colors, Monte Carlo, Malibu, etc. A 70 Chevelle SS would use a black one regardless of interior color, while a 70 Malibu or 300 Deluxe would have a color keyed wheel. These are my favorite GM steering wheels... I think I have one in just about every color.
