    That was either a 70 only item, or 70-71.   :dunno:

     :iagree:  70/71 E-bodies.  Just FYI it's a Rimblow or Rim Blow if you are doing a google search...

    It is called a "Rim Blow" wheel because the horn switch is a rubber strip that runs on the inside of the steering wheel grip.  If you squeeze anywhere on the rubber part of the inside of the wheel, the horn honks.

    Thanks, I realized I had misspeled it  too late and did not fix it....was in a hurry.
    I have seen them, but never had a thing for them, or owned one....

    What diameter are they?  Just curious?  I'm guessing they are bigger than a tuff wheel? :clueless:

    I have one of the repops. But if you want an original in working condition..............That is like $1300 bucks or so.

    The repops look like the originals, but don't function the same. The repops are basically the standard steering wheel.

    Just measured mine (it's in the basement for winter storage) - 15 7/8 inches.  They're most likely referred to as 16 inches.
