WTB Steering Wheel (Imperial)

[ballesco]

I have a 1982 Imperial in silver and grey. Steering wheel has a couple of cracks in it. cover with emblem is fine, I just need the wheel. Any leads?

 

[Jack Meoff]

I'm not sure....is that wheel Imperial specific?
Or is there another model that looks the same like a Fifth Ave?
I looked on car part but they show nothing by way of Imperial steering wheels.

I think you can get away with the steering wheel being interchangeable with other 1982's. but not the cover (which is fine on mine)

 

[Mr.Lopar]

looks the same as some of the 5th aves

The trick is the leather covering. There are a ton of those steering wheels out there, but not many of them have the leather. All the Y-cars got it, and only leather-seat Js had it. I'm not sure about M-bodies; the only wheel that springs to mind on those is different but if they used this style, I would expect only the leather-seat cars got the leather wheel as well. The sad thing is, I know where there's a mint one but the guy just will not sell parts off the car, and he hems & haws about selling the entire Cordoba (flawless grey leather tilt/console interior).

It's a long shot but you can try National Moparts up here.
Sometimes they have some hard to find stuff.

One more long shot I know.
But I just found this and it says he had I body interior stuff.

Funny, I just saw a green Imperial for sale online. Unfortunately, I would need the silver/grey. I sincerely appreciate your reaching out to me and will keep you handy as a resource for other parts. ~Scott

That particular wheel was used on a lot of different cars. As Mr.Lopar says, it is the same wheel as used on many 5th Avenues. It was also used on K-Cars, such as the LeBaron, 400, E-Class, among others.
