I've seen them anywhere from $100 to $200 depending on how bad they are.
They were going for under $50 about five or six years ago. (back when shakers were $100 a set)

I have spoken to Dennis and have a wheel all packed up and ready to go. Problem is I need two of them. I did purchase a turquoise one that I am having rebuilt and repainted. We'll see how it turns out.

There is a black one one ebay right now. Buy it now price. 175.00. It is pretty bad
I have a couple of black cores with caps in that price range if anyone is looking. I couldn't find the ebay one Harold mentioned so I couldn't compare to that.

The wheel I saw on ebay sold sometime after posting the information. It was pretty bad. I fixed mine but that one was beyond me fixing and would need a complete new casting.
wovenweb - if you do get one done by Dennis let us know how he does. There is a Guy in Canada that does real good work but does not remolds it like Dennis. He is only a little cheaper too. His website is http://www.stwheelz.com/ just to have it here as a reference. His name is : Doug Lepak The Steering Wheel Guy
Here is a guy on the east cost that is suppose to be good too. http://www.garyssteeringwheel.com/ Gary's Steering Wheel Restoration 2677 Ritner Highway Carlisle, PA 17015

That' s about as bad a condition that the horn button can be in. In particular, the foil inlay has lost it's color for some reason, really hurting it's value.

These things are like hens teeth. I need to either find a good representation (in black) and fix mine which has some big gaps in the soy plastic around the column, or buy and after-market and get a re-core on the one I have (I saw $950 not $1,200). would prefer to fix the existing. Anyone got a usable core?
Thanks,

Restoring and maintaining old cars and old boats....oh what fun we invent for ourselves. Seems to go in stride with ....You don't live it until you own it....Three steps forward....two steps back ....
I thought mine was in great shape when I first bought the car but closer inspection soon after revealed more deterioration than I thought. Mine was in pretty bad shape. I had it restored by Doug Lepak over 7 years ago. It came back looking brand new and still does today. Here's the link to a post I made before I sent it and then got it back from Doug:
I contacted Doug April 2013 about my Deluxe steering wheel. I saw some work that he did and it looked great. His cost has gone up quite a bit in 7 years. It is now 1000 US plus shipping.
