1969 Camaro cushion grip wheel NK1
 

Good morning

Were some 1969 Camaros originally ordered with the NK1 black cushion grip steering wheel? I had a Feb 1969 L78 years ago with it..no reason to doubt it wasn't the original wheel...original owner claimed it was.. I also recently looked at another early spring 1969 car with it. I have seen where it is disputed if it was available or installed in 1969 Camaros though.

thanks

Released as a Camaro option April 2, 1969.

Very rare; only two documented installations.

Checked GM production records which only show through end of Aug of 69, none showing

Van Nuys car built on or about June 30. Guess they missed it.

So the wheel in the L78 was the same wheel but the horn button wasn't trimmed in vinyl. It had what looked like a '70 Chevelle stainless horn button...same as the car I looked at recently, which was a SS/RS 350 car with tons of options.

Are '69 Corvette wheel center sections vinyl or stainless?

It's discussed here: http://www.camaros.org/swheel.shtml#sw69
Still only 2 69 Camaros documented with it....

I think my old Orange -Orange SS had it. One of the two ?

Yes. With an msrp of $5446 one of the most loaded 69s.
