'79 steering wheel
« on: February 27, 2014, 09:55:55 PM »
Hi all,
I'm looking at buying a '79 from a guy in Tweed Heads.
The car has one of those 4 spoke steering wheels that was on the "76 year model and was also used on other Chevy cars such as the Vega.
I thought all '79 Corvettes had a 3 spoke wheel?

He claims that on the cars without the tilt/telescopic steering wheel option, this 4 spoke wheel was the standard fit. Is he right?

Any thoughts oh sages of the vette???

According to the 78-79 NCRS judging manual, the 3 spoke wheel is standard with the tilt-tele column and the 4 spoke is standard with the non tilt column. Also the 4 spoke is only covered with grained vinyl and not leather. Hope this helps :smile:

Thanks Tracy, appreciate it.
So he tells the truth. Vinyl, eh? Well it was the seventies!

Hi every one again,

I'm looking to buy a car that is fully registered in the ACT.


I believe I need a blue slip.

Does anyone know of a place to get a blue slip either in the ACT or Wollongong/Nowra or Sydney? Seems to be in good knick, just want to specifically look at if it has any rust issues while I'm at it.

regards,
Andy.
