1971 road runner standard steering wheel pictures anyone

Post by citroninakron » Thu Feb 22, 2007 1:15 pm

my 1971 rr came with a tuff wheel which is not on the fender tag but what a nice bonus. a while back i purchased what i thought to be a good replacement on ebay but now am unsure if this is the correct app. i'll try to attach a picture of it here but being my first try please forgive if its a ghost. does anyone have a picture of the base model road runner steering wheel so i can tell what i've got here. THANK YOU ALL your site and users are the best in the collector car hobby i've come across.

Steering wheels were not coded on the fender tags, only on broadcast sheets, so it's very possible it is correct for your car.
Here is a pic of a correct for 71 tuff wheel

This is my steering, less the roadrunner button that goes in the middle.

that's the correct wheel for the medium level interior M___. Here's a pic of the correct wheel for the high line interior H___ and any cars with the A87 package (unless they have a rimblow or tuff wheel).

different seat covers, upper door panels, and of course the steering wheel

with your kind and prompt help i see i have the correct H level wheel (from eBay) and a tuff wheel. almost bought a nice but incorrect for my car M level (again on eBay) recently but let it go to someone out there who needs it. thanks again first rate group of people you are. p.s. is there a way to dumb down a picture so i can post it here? my file of my steering wheel was too large and crapped out.

here's a question...they sell the tuff wheel in different colors, ie: black, blue, red, and tan...did they come this way? i've only seen them in black...i have not yet seen an aftermarket tuff horn pad though...maybe i'm not looking in the right place...

I think the colored tuffs came in the later years for cordobas magnums ect.
