Default Original plastic steering wheel

Got around to installing my new teak wheel (Freeman). Man does it look Anyway, my original plastic wheel is in excellent shape, not one crack. My question is should I keep it or sell it. And, of course, what's it worth.

It will only be worth more later.

It does not take up much room, eat, need clothing, shoes, or anything else..................

My theory too I guess. Mine is hanging in display on the wall of my garage.

I'm in the same boat - now, I usually save everything that comes off my car, but I really don't see the (oringal, great shape) plastic wheel going back on there by my choice or a subsequent owner's in place of the beautiful teak wheel (one of Eric's) that is on there now.

My wife gave me an Eric Freeman Teakwood wheel for Christmas. It really adds a touch of class to the cars interior. I thought about keeping my old wheel (which was in very good condition). I decided to sell it and posted it on the C2 parts for sale forum. I sold it to a fellow forum member for $180.00. Don't know if that was a high or low price, but we were both satisfied.

I would keep it. If you decide to sell, even cracked ones go for $200. If yours is nice $250 and +.
