I think there are 2 different steering wheels for the 68 Chevelles. Check the auction link below and see if that is the one you need. That auction has ended already. That steering wheel was used on some 68 Chevelles, Novas, Camaros and Impalas. 68 is the only year it was used. I have been looking for one for my car for several months. An uncracked one will be very hard to find. I just bought a cheap one that I am going to have restored.

That's the deluxe wheel for 68.....came on everthing as an option or with an interior package.Very cool wheel and super tough to find...I have a NOS one for my car and still put on a NOS wood wheel cause there easier to find if/when it cracks..

The wheel shown in the Ebay ad is the one I'm looking for. If anyone has one they will part with please contact me.

Thanks, Tom

Based on the pics of the 68 Chevelle SS396 supercarkid just posted, my guess is your wheel is from a Camaro, the chevelle has just an "SS" emblem... although the SS396 emblem could have been a midyear change? I have one of these 68 wheels with a SS427 emblem from an Impala.. pretty cool.

Tom, If you have one of these steering wheels that you want to replace, you may want to consider having it restored. There is a place about 50 miles from me that specializes in restoring old steering wheels. It is going to cost me $250 to $300 to have mine done. They say it takes about 3 weeks to complete. The name of the place is Automotive Specialities. They are located in Easley, South Carolina. Phone # is 1-800-676-1928. I think they have an ad in Hemmings.
