Steering Wheels Question

[djwhog]

OK, in 1970 on a Cuda, what all steering wheel options were there and does anyone have pics and links to them if you were to buy them?

Mine has a wood grain wheel. Would like to see and learn what all there was. I forget man I am old!

The only one not shown there is the one that came on the mid-year A93 Coupes. It was the same style as what you have - except with a black rim.

Thank you for the link! I knew about the rim horn type, I was just thinking that maybe there was a nicer option than what I have from the factory on my car guess not in 70?

If you're OK with a wheel that isn't original, here's a possibility.  It's the Grant #246 Tuff Wheel knockoff (with a few cosmetic changes)

That is a great looking wheel

How about this for an oddball 70 only steering wheel...

Speaking of rim blow steering wheels; how do the work?
Where do you press? How is contact made? Inquiring
minds want to know. ;-)

the rim blow is just like the name,,you press on the inner rim of the wheel were there is a rubber contact  insert that goes all along the inner part of the wheel ,

My friend had a rim-blow wheel on a Mustang and didn't know about it - someone had fitted a horn button on the dash like you often see as a lazy fix when the horn is broken.

He only discovered he had a rim-blow trying to figure out why the horn sometimes sounded, generally when he was overtaking hard and "white knuckling" it on the wheel.

 :wave:with manuall steering wouldnt the rimblow wheel blow when your muscling it??or do one have to press really hard??

You don't have to press hard, and it works with manual steering with no issues.  You have finger grips on the back of the wheel and the wood simulated grain in front. The horn blow is in the center of the 2

Thanks for the info on the rim blow guys. I just about have the Challenger complete and
have the option of using the standard or rim blow steering wheel on it. One thing though,
I don't have the center cap for the latter. Something tells me that is a hard part to find.

YIKES!!!    $150 (and needs some work.)
That Grant wheel is looking even better now.

Thanks for the link.
