Is this a little high,yes.But remember the person that builds a car usually takes a hit when it comes time to sell.Starting from scratch is always expensive.Most can get in deep.Restorations cost money,parts are supply and demand.If you want or require the best be expected to pay.If you surround the wheel with other NOS parts,anything but the best will look out of place.There will always be a market for high end parts just as there is one for the $50.00 split to death wheel.Most of us live in between.If you can get it,sell it.....nobody has a gun to either party.

I have known very few people who pay to have a car restored by a pro who ever get their investment back unless they wait for the market to rise(years) or unless they paid a really low price for the car to begin with. I recently built a 33 Plymouth street rod for a Captain for United Air, he wanted the best of the best and by the time I was done he had 140K in the car. National show winner but the best it would do on the open market is about 80-90K. At least with an original rare Supercar the value tends to increase(with exceptions as after the eighties boom), but with a street rod styles change to where it would be doubtful of the value increasing. The $2000 steering wheel? Never thought I would see the day, but I also never thought I would see the day of $300,000 Camaros, let alone considering buying one. With a car selling for 100 to 300K, $2000 for a correct top flight NOS wheel really sounds legit.
