That's a very nice wheel. You better wear gloves to keep it looking pretty!

Came with the car. The previous owner had it reupholstered in 1997. I attached a pic of the receipt and business card. Not sure if he's still around, but you never know. He did a really good job!:D

I decided to preserve my original Hurst shifter / knob and put them aside. If I ever decide to sell the vehicle I can always put them back in for originality. In their place I put in a Hurst short throw shifter! I like it!

Just out of curiosity, what is the additional pull lever for to the left of the hood latch release?

Since the AC was deleted I have air vents I can open and shut. There's one on the passenger side also.....and if you're wondering....that's a Kansas Greatest Hits cassette in the radio! I loved the 80's! Think I'm going to make my wife a "mix tape" when I get the car on the road! :cool:

I don't get what you mean by this? It looks like every other 1984 SVO steering wheel.

Still don't know where you're going with this? It's the original horn pad that came with the vehicle.
