vintage red metal flake steering wheel wanted

I wish I could help because I have a load of wheels from Moon Eyes that look just the same.

The new Mooneye/Grant wheels just dont have the heavy 1960's glitter effect that I so crave for my time machine. They seem to use a much finer metal powder than the old "bass-boat" heavy metalflake, candy apple look of the originals.

Gotcha Steve! I did not know that there was that much of a difference. WOW! That is nice.

They also made 3 hole versions. I can't remember what brand this one is but I remember buying it at PEP Boys in '68.

May be worth checking in w/ the VW/Dune Buggy crowd also old boat groups and any older marinas around as they were popular on speedboats of the era too...Superior brand maybe?.

By the way Verne, Now you know where I got the idea from!

Glad to hear you got the wheel Steve.

I don't know how far you want to tempt fate, but I think I still have those goofy Cal Custom pedal covers if you want them.
