For Sale F355 non airbag steering wheel with hub

Bob, do you know the history of this particular steering wheel and where it might have come from? It’s not trimmed like standard pre-airbag steering wheels. It looks like the one in the super early 355 marketing brochures, but I have yet to see it on a 355.


Either someone re-trimmed this to achieve the same look or it is an uber rare prototype-ish/super early example.

Indeed

 

Photos are often deceiving, not anybody's fault. Are there ANY scratches?

"Like new", does not mean "new' to me, or potentially others.

Thank you for sharing a magnificent wheel.

Regards,
Alberto

 

Got any photos of original installs that have a steering wheel like yours?

 

This is what most pre-airbag wheels look like. Take a closer look at yours and you’ll realize the differences.

 

The very early/prototype cars / steering wheels didn't have the perforated portion at 9:00 and 3:00.

I haven't seen on on a road car. So I guess he's asking if it's been reupholstered or maybe it's a little extra rare.

 

A normal pre airbag wheel has perforated leather on each side sectioned off by 2 lines. Yours doesn’t have that.

It could be a 456 wheel with the 355 black center section. The 456 didn't have the perforated sections.

Nope.

Horn button locations, spokes are also diff.

 

I think that this is an awesome piece. I am one of the few that likes the original “bag in” wheel along with the original wheels.

GLWS... someone will be really happy with this.

 

The 355 non airbag wheel center won't actually fit a 456 wheel, they are slightly different size.

The 355 wheel is leather covered stamped steel center.

456 is aluminum.
