Any one out here tell me about Covico Steering wheels? I think I have one but not sure what they might be worth.. Spoons
There's only a few thing's i know about them.. 1-the American Graffiti coupe ran one 2- some of thier wheels had the stagered holes, like the one in the pics.. 3- they can get stupid expensive, especially on ebay.. I tried to buy one a couple weeks back on ebay, and it went up to 433.00 for the wheel, horn buton and mounting kit.. Still wouldn't mind having one for my car, but i don't think i'll ever have that kind of "extra" cash to spend on just a wheel.. oh well Tony
i sold one for $40.00 a few months ago... its a steering wheel, not a retirement fund.. you will find one Tony.. ebay is often a bad way to evaluate worth of an object. recently had a deal where a guy had an item listed which had bids on it, we made a deal outside EBAY... we let the auction role to the end and i bid $400.00 on an item (rusty '34 header panel) worth maybe $60.00 on a good day.... id imagine someone saw that and thinks his rusted '34 header panel is worth that amount.... perhaps that is what happened on the steering wheel auction.
The Covico wheel is similar to the Superior "500". The Covico has no name on it and it has bigger finger nubs on the back. I paid $100 for mine, it's well worth it if the chrome is nice and the wheel's not all scratched up.
