Re: 68 Chevelle/Nova Steering Wheel
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.

Re: 68 Chevelle/Nova Steering Wheel
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..

Re: 68 Chevelle/Nova Steering Wheel
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.

Re: 68 Chevelle/Nova Steering Wheel
Tom, Gateway Reproductions had one A while back that had been off A car and on the wall for most of its existence. I spoke with Jim when I dealt with them, they did A great job with the things I needed. Gateway is in Winfield, MO (636)566-6666. Those wheels are 68 only wheels having the small ridges from the center down and the "SS396" emblem was for the Chevelle and the ChevyII and Camaro only had "SS" from what I have seen and read. The Sun really reaked havoc on them, I found A "yard" last summer with six Chevelles in A row and all the Steering wheels were cracked beyond repair.
