Steering Wheel ID?

davis911s · davis911s's Garage

Trying to identify what steering wheel / horn button is on this car that I bought. I have not been able to find a similar picture. It is on a 70S car that was sadly modified in the 80s

Thanks

I'm no expert but it looks like a 4-spoke batwing wheel with homemade aluminum strips and horn button added.

Yea. A 40mm vdm wheel with “custom” additions.

a good example of just because you can doesn't mean you should. It's amazing what people did to these cars long ago.

That car a sporto? Don't see room there for a clutch pedal.

Thanks all . I I agree KRLocke, I agree. Yes Jim it is a Sporto - I've never driven one before, I much prefer manual trans.

The tach does not look like an "S" tach. Is the engine an "S" engine?

No. Sadly when it was modified, the body was widebodied, and the engine was changed too. The car will be a nice base for an outlaw tyoe build. Its like too many modifications like KRLocke mentioned. Someone spent good money to devalue what would have been a great car
