Twenty-five bids and $619.00 later, someone has a new steering wheel pad. Listen up vendors how about reproducing this part!

Wow! I ended up getting a LeCarra wheel after it became clear I would never find a good replacement for my stock pad.
This says to me that folks are starting to pony up big bucks for stock replacement parts to restore these cars. Makes me glad I've held on to all the original parts I've upgraded!

Agreed RacerDave! The other day I was laughing/commiserating with an "F-car" pal that Boxer rims were $1500 each, and he was "considering" a tool kit for $2500.
I said, "Lo and behold" or something like that, "the Pantera parts - which break less frequently by the way - aren't NEAR that costly."
He says, "Market value of the cars, and the replacment parts follow parallel lines in many ways." And I ponder...
"You mean like muscle cars?" Long silence.
And yet, SOME of the parts indigineous to our car's originality are getting to be expensive because SOME folks are really beginning to treasure them
I really believe that Panteras are hideously overdue for an appreciation bump, and prices for some 'original' bits are definitely reflective. Sorry about the rant, but the $605 steering wheel pad got my attention.
Thanks to all who have kept the Pantera flame alive. Carry on.

Actually it came to $619 plus shipping. Perhaps Panteras will catch up to the Boss 429 parts?
