Default Wooden Grant steering wheels

I have an '81 w/tilt & telescopic steering. I've been looking at the mahogany & walnut steering wheels by Grant. It seems that due to the tilt and telescopic, my choices are limited.
Anyone know which models would work in my application? Are they real wood? Are they any count (good).? thanks in advance! jim

I have a Grant wheel from the mid 60s (not on the vette). It is real wood and still very pretty. Grant sells mounting kits for most any car for about $30. As far as how tilt/tele might limt your choices I'm not sure. Jim Shea would be the guy that could answer this question. Maybe PM him if he doesn't reply to this post.

Here's mine:



Sorry, though...I'm not much help with your T/T issue. Grant has some very good info on their website.

I don't know if the current Grant's are real wood or not, but I do know that people seem to want the older (60's) ones over the new ones. I just sold a used late-60's Grant's for an MGB for almost as much as a new one would have cost!

Last year, I got a new wood Grant for my '68 Mustang. I don't think the quality is the same as the older ones. That's why the Grants made in the 60s are so popular.
