Engine won't Turn

A very nice car indeed..and a lot of work to get it to that level..talking about steering wheels I thought those 2 spoke steering wheels were only offered on 72 and up e bodies.

I have a three spoke steering wheel for the car. However, I'm 6'4" tall and 225 lbs and I had to be a contortionist to get in the car with that wheel. The steering wheel you see is an option for the car and works slightly better for me.

I know what you are saying Dave I am lucky to have the optional 6 way adjustable driver's seat this makes a huge difference.

You are correct. Many people use the newer wheel because they like them better. I personally like the tuff wheel due to its' size. It never was an option on an E body (Chryslers' mistake).

I did not know that...all the more reason to ditch the repo tuff wheel on my challenger...I am currently having my original 3 spoke withdrawn wheel restored. I more and more like those wheels....it's a nice contrast to the black interior.

Withdrawn equals woodgrain...I hate auto correct.

Back in the 80's, when Challengers were just used cars, most wanted the newer style steering wheel over the 3 spoke wheel. I know one guy who had an accident while driving with his fingers in the holes. He has one crooked finger due to it today.
