Arne Posted January 2, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2008 Nuts, simply nuts. I sold one that appears to be just as good to a member here for his low-VIN resto a month or two ago, for far less than that. They aren't all that rare. Good for the seller, but not so great for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted January 2, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 2, 2008 That is a crazy price for a steering wheel in average unrestored condition. I know that seller (he lives pretty close to me) and I have bought several things from him. He always seems to get record prices for most everything he sells for some reason. When I have something to sell on eBay I think I need to have him list it for me, or at least copy his ad or something. By the way Arne, yours was in better condition and your clock is still running too, so thanks again for both.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EScanlon Posted January 2, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 2, 2008 While it may be a bit early to "cash" in on the earlier wheels, that price is by no means surprising.Early Roadster steering wheels, routinely fetch over $100 in "restoreable" condition. In Mint? Last 7 out of 10 wheel I saw went for over $250 dollars. Heck the horn buttons for the same steering wheel with the "D" in the center are going for over $200 dollars.FWIWE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigoak Posted January 2, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 2, 2008 The description is very well composed. Certainly leads one to believe you could restore to perfect with minimal effort.Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray Posted January 2, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 2, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270179276437Same seller, $242 for a "restorable" one? Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 2, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 2, 2008 Could be an isolated instance that this steering wheel is selling this high. If one has not been listed for quite awhile, a bidding war is more likely to occur. These steering wheels withstood the test of time and there are probably more of them still in existance than there are Series 1 Z's left. Just like all the other Series 1 specific parts, I think they are being hoarded by guys like us. Edit-Xray just made me eat that first statement. Wow! High prices indeed.

justinr54321 Posted January 2, 2008 Share #11 Posted January 2, 2008 I've been keeping an eye on this one, for when I replace my steering wheel with one I like, I'm selling mine. It is in no way in the same condition as that one, however, I still have the horn pad, and the wheel itself needs to be sanded and painted and refinished. And my horn, well, I need to touch the wire to ground to get it to beep at the moment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregs240z Posted January 2, 2008 Share #12 Posted January 2, 2008 If you look at the bid history. It looks to me that the seller is using shill bidders. The same person won both steering wheels and there were several same bidders. Or could be coincidental. I really don't like ebay as its a varying of opinions as to condition....
