Yenko Deuce Cushion Grip Steering Wheel

[Mr70]

Are we using formal names now?
Mr.Barr there was no witch hunt by me nor anyone else that I can see.
You did answer my question in a timely manner and I thank you for that.With a FootBall game & pix to download yesterday,I didn't sit on this topic long,I moved on once I read your text reply.Your pic attachment came later on after your text.
I am not familiar with this design of wheel your selling here,as it is unique from the other 3 spoke design that I am familiar with,but even if I did notice your pic at that time,I still would've researched it on Ebays search page.Ebay makes this quite easily accessible to all it's members.It's by no means a secret,and if it is,it shouldn't be.If a seller should try to get top dollar for an item,why can't a buyer know what he possibly paid for it? It can really help the negotiation process for both sides involved.A search on Ebay can answer alot of questions in todays world.It's resourcefulness is nearly second to none.
Yes,I know there was a 3 spoke RPO cushion grip steering wheel available for my Chevelle,and yes I see them here and there,but the design,price and description of your GSX/Yenko wheel was what took me by surprise.Something I did't know much about at the time.There was only that one other completed steering wheel like yours on Ebay,so that is all I had to compare yours to.You got to admit,they do a pretty good reproduction of it today,as even Marlin stated you had to contact him for the differences via email recently.
Marks own reply at the time seemed justified to me based on those two wheels,and I must say,if Frank Magallon said the exact same thing to anyone else on here,he would have not evoked this much attention or outcry...Just my .02
This site is first and foremost about sharing & helping people with their questions and problems dealing with Chevrolet SuperCars,and I think we should never forget that,regardless how big others act,feel or are able to spend on a part or car they desire.I really feel most of us are getting away from this point lately..
If my "mr70" name offends you Brandon,then call me Rick.That is my real name and one I will answer to as well.I am sorry if the "mr70" title rubs you or anyone else the wrong way,that was not my intention when I chose it.I do not claim to know everything about the 1970 Chevrolet Vehicles,I just enjoy learning & collecting about the 1970 Chevrolet Vehicles the most.

Off topic:
I feel resentment from you & others on here,that I feel run far beyond this topic.Vicious name calling by one close to me for a start.I remember a time when that never was.
I have been accussed recently of possibly being connected,in some small part,to a dispicable act which I had absolutely no knowledge of,or took any part in at all.It was just recenlty brought to my attention while being on this website.I was stunned to hear about it,and it actually answered a question I had about a related odd occurence that happened to me after it.It was only through a telephone call to that person,that I was informed what had actually happened.I feel we cleared the air,and hope we can continue to be friends as we once were.
The website & keyboard can not express the exact emotions being sent with that text,so I think we should all try to remember that.
If anyone has any quarls or misunderstandings with anyone today,pick up your telephone and air it out there,or even better,sit down with them in person.
It really does work.

Rick,

First off, in the beginning of your post you claim you don't know anything about these steering wheels, and somehow couln't see the detailed pic i posted right within the post along with a detailed explanation, showing the differences between them... heck, you didnt even have to open the attachment, it was IMPOSSIBLE not to see...but somehow you claim you didn't see it... (can everyone else here see that pic on page one without any complications?) Then you go on to claim that the reproductions are good and are hard to distinguish from originals... if you know nothing about them, how do you know anything about distinguishing characteristics of them? In your previous post, you stated that you and your buddy Mark researched the prices of these wheels, indicating that my price was high based on other wheels for sale, but now you are admitting that the only wheel you looked at (or "found" as you say) was the reproduction steering wheel that I had won on ebay. So it WAS a witchhunt to attempt to "bust" me selling that wheel for more than I paid for it, and to portray me as knowingly selling a repro part as original. And I also disagree, and do not believe that anyone here would allow ANYONE else to present an attack on me in the way you had Mark attack me. It was a vicious attack on my personal character. I don't care who said it, be it you, Frank, Belair, Mark, or the man on the moon, the reacton would certianly have been the same. The sheer fact you see nothing wrong with what he accused me of, and what was said, and think it "shouldn't have caused such an outcry" lets me know exactly how involved you were with what mark posted for you. I'm just glad others got a chance to see the type of stuff you do behind the scenes in an effort to damage others reputations. Is it jealousy? Is it spite? I don't know what your problem is, but I think what you did was totally uncalled for and I don't buy into your excuses. I have replied to every question you or anyone else has asked, provided detailed photos, and have been upfront and honest from the start. I don't have to hide behind someone elses posts... Where is your buddy Mark anyhow? Is it your turn to do the speaking now? He wanted his proof prior to making any apology and I think excessive proof has already been posted.

Rick,

If you expect your story of "research" and ignorance of the fat grip wheels to hold water...IMO you're insulting the intelligence of the rest of the members who frequent here.

You said it yourself,

Sounds to me like this is the real issue here. You thought you had someone busted by searching his completed auctions like you commonly do as part of your ongoing "research" but unfortunately your facts weren't straight...and Mark made a fool of himself for you.

The funny thing is I recall you extending a hand to myself and my brother at a recent SCR, yet you continue to do these types of things behind these scenes and play dumb to try to get yourself out of it.

The rest of the members here are smart enough to see what's going on for themselves. No need to extend the hand next time.

mr70,
I see a lot of skirting and glazing over in your last couple posts for your part in this despicable attempt to assassinate Joe's reputation and character, but for all your rhetorical dancing...it lacks those two little words. This thread has nearly 1400 views within 48 hours, so I recommend you think your next post over very carefully if you truly prefer resolve.

FWIW, in the way of comparables for original used cushion grip wheels...I was offered far more for mine at SCR8 than Joe is asking for this one.

IF I were interested in such a wheel, and IF I had checked completed auctions to see if it had recently been acquired, and IF I suspected it MIGHT BE A REPOP PART, it is very simple what I would do next. Email the seller PRIVATELY. Ask some questions.

Last year I was selling an NOS oil pan on ebay. A scum bag on ebay contacted one of my bidders, who happens to frequent this site, and told him it was a repop. That bidder contacted me PRIVATELY to see what was going on.

All of this could have been avoided. Some accusations you just don't make in public.

Just my opinion.

Heres my .02 cents Rick. I think that you got the reaction that you did from so many people because those people and a lot silent people are sick of you and your crap. You have burned MANY brides behind the scenes that I am sure that you are aware of. Maybe it's about time you take your show of goofy pictures and Chevrolet RPO codes "On the Move"

Rick, Here is my question, if you knew the cushion grip wheel was not correct for your car, (perhaps by reading the post i made as a direct answer to your question 5 minutes after you asked it?) then why go through the trouble of looking up the value of it, and sending links and info to your friend Mark? Simple... because you wanted to try to bust me in a lie, its so obvious there isn't a need to even argue about it, as you just dig your hole deeper IMO. I received NO e mails, and NO PMs, and no calls from you OR your buddy Mark before or after you made your assumptions and accusations, so i don't know what this stuff is you posted about talking to people in person or calling, I guess thats only when its YOU who's being called to the carpet. When its someone else, its OK to just go on a hunch and talk behind their backs with your friends, making claims that are totally and 100% unfounded and false.


By the way, I prefer to be called Joe instead of Brandon, but it really doesn't bother me either way, however alot of my friends know me as Brandon, which is why I prefer you use Joe.

Oh, and also, if you would have used the search feature on THIS site, you could have found a steering wheel very similar to this one that i had offered for sale at 1200.00 dollars some 2 or 3 years ago on this very site, as well at the one Earl had listed recently for 3500.00...While mine didn;t sell as a result of the yenko.net ad, it did sell in Carlisle for my full asking price, and I'm sure a few members here saw it there. I can also easily pull up several threads in regards to these wheels, in which it is thoroughly explained what they are, and what they are correct for. I still don't buy this story that you had no idea that this wheel wasn't right for your car, and that you were initially interested in buying it from me. Any questions you may have had were cleared up in the first 5 minutes of the thread, complete with detailed photos, so there's no sense in pretending you didn't know. I don't know how much more clear i could have been in my reply to you where i stated point blank that it was not correct for your car.

Speaking of Mark, where has he disappeared to? Cat eat his keyboard?

IMO, just another hit and run sladerous attack, with no merit. Time for Mark to apoligize to Joe.
