Early sport 3-spoke steering wheel value
As I wind down my 33 year Porsche obsession I am coming across old friends in my crawlspace. One of them is an early sport steering wheel.
Being as I did myself out of a few hundred $ on a box of old radios I thought I would post this here to get some feedback (thanks techweenie for the advice). This is an early sport steering wheel. Not perfect but from what I see these things are hard to find. Slight discolouration at lower centre and some cracking at top. Complete with horn ring. Any help is appreciated.

Love that patina !
I paid 300 for an option 565 in much worse condition, and love it. I would think $400+

What distinguishes the sport from the standard 3-spoke?

Thicker diameter and better view of gauges due to lower offset.

Can't tell by the pics if it is brown or black. If it's brown, I'm interested.

Isn't it the later "standard" 3-spoke wheel used on the 911SC the one with the better view of the gauges? My understanding is that the early 3-spoke Sport wheel was hub centric and blocked the gauges slightly.

There were two versions Option 565 and Option 18. There are a couple of threads on Tech about these. I have the option 565 and i much prefer the thicker grip and overall feel of the wheel.
