Default Re: Comfort grip steering wheel on ebay is fake!

Jason,
I am with you. I don't recall ever having seen the soft spongy wheel with no molds for your fingers used as an RPO option for Camaros. The buick GSX had this wheel available as an option.

Did Yenko have an aftermarket spongy wheel available?

Yenko only offered, and used, the comfort grip in '70 Yenko Novas. It was only available as GM equipment on the '70+ Buick GSX's. Yenko offered it as a catalog item from '70 on. It did not come on any '69 cars, much less '69 Yenko cars, however, Don has been known to hand them out to guys who would stop by the store in McMurray [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Marlin is 100% correct. I have seen Don Yenko give comfort grip wheels to Yenko owners for their cars....BKH
