Update - 4/5/2018 - SOLD! Thank you GRM. And best of luck to the new owner.

 

One Momo Typ V35 350mm steering wheel in somewhere between fair to odd condition. It came off of my latest acquisition for reasons you will see below.
 

The Good:

  • Genuine Momo steering wheel with original markings
  • Has never been bent or in a crash of any sort
  • Comes with horn button, grounding ring, and fasteners
     

The Bad:

  • The material on the wheel has deteriorated from age and gets tacky in hot weather
  • I tried to clean the wheel with cleaning wipes and it literally turned my hand black. It will need to be re-covered or wrapped if you plan to use it in a street car
     

The Odd:

  • There are two red vinyl labels with the words "Beachten" and "Denken" affixed to the front of the wheel. From what I can tell, these words form a German phrase that translates roughly to "Consider Thinking" or "Think Twice." I presume the previous owner (a good friend of mine) affixed these labels to remind himself not to do anything dumb on the road. To me this is a reminder as to why you shouldn't let a drunk German-speaking Korean-Japanese car enthusiast play with the label maker.
     

The Price:

SOLD! Thank you!

Adam at Revlimiter restored an old Momo wheel a couple of years back. It was quite impressive what he was able to accomplish. This should be salvageable.
