Default 69-75 Tilt / tele Steering Columns

Hi! I was just doing an internet / Ebay search on tilt / telescoping steering columns.

Some of the prices I saw were surprising. What is the market price for them nowadays for a professionally restored one?

Thank you.

I think in the $450 range for a rebuilt one. Steering Columns Galore wants 225 + parts to rebuild yours.

I'll buy every rebuilt tilt/tele you can get me, for $450. That's what I was getting for rebuildable T & T cores 3-4 years. Four years ago I was getting $1200-$1400 for restored ones, now cores are going for that. 69-75 standard columns are going for $600-$700 now. Restored T & T columns have jumped the last 2 years, with the going rate now somewhere north of $2500.

I was born at St. Joe`s in Ann Arbor. Moved away many years ago,. but it seems "A-squared" is stuck in a time warp!
I agree with GBvette62.... but I`d happily give you $800 for a rebuilt tilt-tele for my 71!

I have had two columns restored by Steering Columns Galore and they were both $850 dollars. Not sure where the $225 number comes from but not from them, and they do a terrific job.

They rebuilt mine about 18 years ago for $650 IIRC. At that point in time they were getting a grand or more for rebuilt’s. I’m not sure where those low dollar figures came from, but that can’t be right.
