DLynskey Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Craigslist ad, I don't know anything about the car or the seller. Looks like a decent car except for the rinky dink steering wheel.

It's been on craigslist before but I don't believe I posted it here. I did a search and didn't find it, but then again I seldom find what I'm searching for.

58L-Y8 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Yeah, here it is, price is starting to soften. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I am pretty sure this car would have come with Tilt and telescoping steering. To get the aftermarket wheel in there might have taken a different column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLynskey Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 To me it says there was a problem with the steering/tilt/telescope/turn signal/light dimmer switches, and it was easier and cheaper to remove the whole thing and replace it with the chintzy wheel. It might still be a good buy if that's the only shortcut that was made. What are the chances of that? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I believe these steering wheels may have been prone to deteriorating and falling apart. Still a wheel out of another model would look better than this replacement. Here's an original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Chrysler sold a lot of cars in gold and greenish-gold colors in these years. I never was a fan of any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
