Everything was good...til we looked inside.

Hese a few pics of a car from the WOW in atl. they speak for themselves.

 

Is this guy kidding, That steering wheel looks like it was out of a Taurus or Aerostar, we can only hope someone will tell him how wrong that is.


timebomb

 

Oh shit......that just ruined it for me. Damn a cheepo used Grant or Covico would have been better than that thing.

 

please tell me those are paddle shifters.....

 

nope. If I remeber correctly they were stero controls!

 

Maybe he's just saving up to put a newer unit in with an airbag.

 

but it says ford on it

 

I did not need to see that. Please photochop maybe a banjo or 40 wheel with no airfag.

 

That's such a beautiful car. Everything right. Then wham!!! I reckon whoever fitted that column and wheel should be issued a court order preventing him from going within 100 yrds of any car over 30 years of age.
Damn I just can't believe it.

Please...tell me this is...a joke. If not...You gotta admire someone who steps up to the plate...and barfs.

I think they put the yellow rope so you wouldn't see that!!!

File under: "What was he thinking!?!"

 

God is in the details

 

some "get it"..........some "dont"............he doesnt!

dam i just ate breakfast.......hope i dont lose it after seeing that

 

That steering wheel looks like crap!Rest of the car looks great tho.

looks like its out of one of my old fox body mustangs with the cruise control buttons.Damn wheels were grubby.

 

that wheel is probably conneced to mustang cruise control, which is probably connected to the engine out of your old mustang....efi and all

 

lol,good they can have it.I totaled that car t-boning a windstar.I got alot of use out of the drivetrain on that one!

 

I would be willing to bet that he bought the car......all nice and all and then he changed the wheel.........because there is ...No way ...the builder of that roadster ... put that ugly wheel in the car IMHO...


You see it all the time......when a car changes hands.........the new guy has to do something to it.......most often hurting it...but nonetheless....changing it...

 

I can top that for ugly. I just bought a 46 ford ford sedan. It has a caddy seat and column with get this....a cavalier wheel. Boy that sucks root real bad. Maybe that guy will sell me that taurus wheel?

hahahahhahahahahahahhaha



haha



hah!


COLD SHOWER!

 

Curious. You pay $1,500 for a '46 fairly done: M-II, SBC, TH350, Walker rad, Hotchkiss rear, 12,000 miles under it's belt and all, yet complain bitterly about the easy-to-change STEERING wheel...???

BTW, it is definitely a BUICK column....no cornering light connectors on the TS switch...and it had a '70 Buick wheel on it.

(Yes, I built that car)

 

I thought my steering wheel sucked.



oh yea, don't mind the tape for a vent window. haha

 

Thanks Dave, needed a good laugh today!

 

Hah! that's the exact steering wheel in my 87 mustang. Those controls are for cruise control unless he converted them to radio controls. That wheel looks ugly enough in my car but daamn thats out of place in that car.

 

got to be the wheel his wife picked out

 

That’s more than just ugly, it’s down right disturbing.

Every time someone looks at that picture, a kitten dies.

 

auugghh!!!! run away! run away!

 

oh i bet he paid someone top dollar to put that in for him and probably charged extra to tell him its cool

 

Whats the problem? it's a Ford steering wheel in a Ford car.

 

Make a note to myself: Change the Dakota steering wheel in my "new" ride before the HAMB Drags, else someone might have a heart attack.

Anyone know what steering wheels will bolt onto a Dakota column?
I thought all I was going to have to worry about was getting the motor, trans, brakes, wiring, steering, and a host of things I thought were the necesities done on a limited cash flow. Now I will have to worry about the make and year of the steering wheel. NOT! Ya all don't like it, don't look inside the car! I have enough challenges for this year already.
