Re: NOS prices
Who's the sucker that bought it for 1800? Honestly it looks used.

Re: NOS prices
I saw a NOS grille sell for $1200 a month ago but this steering wheel takes the cake

Re: NOS prices
Thats absurd. Carrol Shelby himself better whittle one out of wood and sign it, before Id pay anything close to that.

Re: NOS prices
I've been buying parts off eBay for about 8 years. I've seen the ups and downs and the steady rise overall for NOS parts. Over the last two years, many parts have gone from reasonable to ridiculous.
For a truck that supposedly is a dime a dozen and isn't considered as desirable as other models, it sure as hell isn't cheap to try and restore one. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: NOS prices
Some people are pitiful. -rant-
It's because of these assh*les that muscle cars and such are at a stupid high price. Leaving me and the younger generations screwed with 80s crap an no hopes of achieving a dream car in the neat future. I blame Barrett Jackson for this as well. Still waiting for 75k for my decent 70 Cuda without some stupid hemi conversion. But for now a muscle truck will have to make do ( not that I hate the trucks obviously) 1800 for a steering wheel??!!! And I've seen bid wars on NOS seatbelt plastic sleeves for mopars! 800 dollars for some damn sheet metal stamps and headlight stickers..... WHY? It's original ONCE and they were crap then in all honesty nothing fit Posted via Mobile Device

Re: NOS prices
That was not a NOS wheel. All the texture was worn off the perimeter of the front, it should have looked like the back.

Re: NOS prices
Just think of all the other stuff that person could have bought for that kind of money if they could've lived with their old wheel (assuming they bought it for a truck). You don't even see steering wheels for old muscle cars going for that kind of money

Re: NOS prices
Just this winter I paid 500 bucks for my truck. Its just mind boggling to think that they could have bought 3 running, driving trucks that were on the road until 2 years ago and still have some change left over. But instead they ended up with a steering wheel, which could be slightly used for all we know.

Re: NOS prices
Yes, the definition of NOS is New Old Stock, not Used Old Junk. That guy is certainly not going to be happy when he gets his "new" used wheel
