Real RS Steering Wheel 914.347.806.10 Price Check

[mfitton]

I have a real RS steering wheel part # 914.347.806.10 that is dated 3/73. It has the flat hub (not dished) and has it's original 3" factory leather cover and butterfly horn pad in excellent condition. It will be for sale once I figure out what value is. I did a search here and on early911Sregistry and could not find one that was sold recently, any idea? Here are a couple pictures.

Yep agree, but do the math roughly 1500 RS's were produced(originally was to be only 500) and the later '73 dated 806.10 wheels were made specifically for the added cars. I am not sure when the wheels were switched over to the later dated '73 but my guess is there was only enough produced to cover the end of the run of cars. I see restored wood wheels going for a lot more money and there were a lot more of those produced, remember this is all original. Would be perfect for someone who has a March thru July delivered real RS.

There’s quite a few inaccuracies and assumptions in that statement Mike.

Hi Mike, let me know your concerns on this wheel and what I have stated. Have you ever seen a 806.10 dated 3/73? I have confirmed that this same dated wheel was the original wheel on a May '73 RS. Do you know anyone with a real RS that was mfg. March - July '73 and could verify what date/part# is on their wheel?

Wheel has been sold, thanks for all the interest. Also verified same part 806.10 and date 3/73 is on the original wheel on RS #1410.
