    The wheel you speak of was not available in 63 and it was not part of the GS package. It was just an option and it is a plastic type material - simulated wood. Dick

    Sorry for the dissapointment - on a positive note a "wood" wheel complete with horn bar, center cap and all the other components in excellent condition is worth at least 800 bucks. The Horn Bar itself is worth 200 bucks. These numbers are based on recent Ebay sales. Good Luck
