Please educate me.......  What's wrong with the Tough Steering Wheel?  Wrong year? Not available?

Lots of guys put them in E-Bodies, but they were never offered as an option. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but not correct and E Body guys will spot this one right away.

Thanks, I didn't know that and was planning on putting one on my 1971 Cuda.  When I got the car it had a 1972 steering wheel on it.  So, the only options are a stock 3 spoke wheel or a rim blow?

There is a third option, but seldom seen. It has a  partial ring to activate the horn. I will see if i can find a picture. 

Found this one on easier to post the link. It sold for 5 Bills.

After thinking about the third wheel option, I am not sure it was available on a Cuda/Barracuda, as I have yet to see it on one.

Some of the early 70 Hemi Cudas were equipped with wheel lip mouldings.

This convertible has 66-69 valve covers.

Not being a real "Hemi" does not make it critical, but why is there an original dash vin tag and a State issued vin tag?     Other than a few things needing some correction and tlc, it could be a nice ride.

What I was told is the factory made a error in the dash vin tag with the 7th digit being a "3". It should of been a "B". The factory door sticker shows a B and then California sticker was put there as additional documentation when first registered.  Makes sense to me as a 3 doesn't correspond with anything

no sway bar front or rear.
Sketchy battery cables which leads me to believe no heat wrap on the positive cable.
mentioned prior but 71 pad not 70 dash pad.
