    Default Racemark Steering Wheel and hub for 280Z, Any idea what it's worth?

    I just got this car in January and since it only has 34,000 original miles, I'm wanting to bring it back to absolutely original condition (or as original as possible) so I switched back to a stock steering wheel that I refinished. Any idea what the Racemark is worth? I know they haven't been made in quite a while and I have no idea how long it's been on the car but it's in nearly perfect condition. It also has the adaptor hub and the Z horn button that worked when I took it off, last Saturday. It's period correct for the '75 I know, it's just not what I'm looking for with this car. I'm really not much of an Ebay'er and I'd really rather someone have it that is rebuilding their Z, rather than just going to resell it.

    I'de be interested in picking it up. It would fit the spirit of the re-fresh I'm going through perfectly. I like the look of your interior, if your stock wheel is in excellent shape it would go much better with it.

    Can you measure the diameter of the wheel and length of the mounting hub for us please?

    Contact me here via private message (PM) or to my email z240@shaw.ca and we'll take it from there.

    Thanks!

    Revised look with stock wheel after refinish and leather wrapped by Craft Customs.

    Is that the solid aluminum hub? Boy, I'd love to have one of those versus the crappy stamped metal ones that flex.

    I have a similar one made in Italy that I picked up a while ago, it was a great improvement in driving "feel".
    There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply.
    The person who buys on price alone is this man's lawful prey.

    Thanks for the replies. The wheel is now headed to Canada to go on Jim's '73. It'll look good since it is definitely period correct.
