68 SS427 steering wheel

TDW · #1 03-04-2006, 10:40 PM

A friend stopped by today with a steering wheel that has a SS427 emblem on it. The wheel is a 3 spoke from a 68 Impala? He would like to know what it is worth. Its in pretty good shape, from what I saw. Thanks.

If it has no cracks, or deep scratches and the horn section is in good shape it is worth between $400.00 and $700.00... A nice restored 68 wheel can be worth as much as $700.00... Most of the 68 wheels cracked over the years, so a crack free, original, unrestored wheel is fairly rare.

Thank you Bill. I will pass it along.

The emblem alone would probably sell for $150 to $200. The last SS396 emblem on Ebay sold for $135. As Bill said, uncracked 1968 wheels are hard to find.

Don, that is what it looks like. Well, except for the pigeon crap that was on it.

does someone have a pic of the entire wheel, is this wheel particular to 68 impala's. going on some junk yard cruises this spring before the 2 owners scrap them out and trying ot grab as much as possible before it gets smashed.

The wheel is came in most 68 Chevys like Impalas, Chevelles, Novas, and Camaros. It did not come in base cars like Chevelle 300, Bel Air, or Biscayne.
