Well I went to the local wreckers yesterday to find a roadworthy steering wheel for my vl. They didn't have any vl ones, the only vk one they had was torn to ****, and I wasn't sure a vn would fit, even though they look ****. He had a few aftermarket ones that possibly would pass roady depending on the roadworthier, but most likely the cops would ping me. So trying to decide what to do, I thought id have a look around at the other cars and see if there was anything that would work, knowing I had to get something that bolted to a boss kit.
I then came across a ea or eb xr6 that I looked into, and low and behold I found something, I had been looking at buying a vl hdt momo steering wheel, but didn't really want to spend $400-$500.
I found this

Hoping it was worth something even if I could use it or not, I thought it was a momo but wasn't sure, I checked, and it was. Not knowing what it was worth but knowing the vl ones sell for a **** load, and knowing that the wreckers prices are normally very steep, I played it cool (I thought anyway) and went over and told him I found a ford that had a steering wheel that fits to the boss kit and that had a horn pad, and I didn't care if it had ford on it, as it was only to pass roady. He came over and had a look and I was bracing myself for the $400 price tag, I asked him how much, and he said $85.
The question is, did he not know what he had or do I think that I have something, when infact, I don't.
What's it worth? It has all it's stitching and the only downside is it's worn a bit from about 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock, but there are no chunks missing. All horn buttons work.
Thanks
