I would like to have a telescopic sterring wheel for my l968 Vette. You can e-mail me and let me know if you have one or where I can get one. |bouncy| |bouncy|

I bought my tile/tele column at Carlisle. There were close to two dozen to choose from ( there may have been more that I missed ).

Thanks for the info from a fellow Vietnam Vet. Do you have the name of any of the vendors that had the other columns and if you do not mind telling me the price range we a talking about.

I bought this thing two years ago and just flat don't remember which vendor I got it from. I had it restored by a shop down in one of the Carolinas but can not remember the name of it either. Soemone else asked me for the name and I can not locate the bill or shipping info.
I do remember the price range was nothing short of ridiculas. They ran from around $150.00 to over $600.00. Mine was in the vacinity of $250.00. I had plans to send it to a restoration shop ( mentioned above ) so I did not want to spend big bucks for the unit. I was also afraid the less expensive units would cost way too much to restore. The restoration was around $175.00 and it came back looking and feeling like a brand new piece. I will ABSOLUTELY POST the information on this guy if I can ever find it !!! I kinda remember him saying ( too late of course ) that he sold his own restored units for around $400.00.
Sorry for the lack of an actual answer to your question.

Thanks for the help. Sounds like you got a real good deal from the prices I am running into. One of the big name vendors wants $1500 for used and $2500 for a new one. I plan to go to Caarisle next year maybe I will be as lucky as you were. By the way that one beaitful Vette. I live in South Carolina and run a resturant, I was just wondering where you are from. If I can ever help in any way plese let me know.

If you looking for steering colums or parts there is a place in Greenivlle, South Carolina call Corvette Steering Service that has a lot of stuff. I bought a rebuilt telecopic colum for $850.00 a lot less than I could find anywhere else.
