Default Pace Car Steering Wheel

Thanks to Gene (Gmpartshouse.com), I have bought the last OEM '98 Pace Car steering wheel that exists.

I think that is pretty cool?

From Gene:

Michael,



This is the last one that is new by any GM Dealer, any people who purchase GM’s discontinued parts, etc.



Thanks. Gene.

Nothing but yellow stitching instead of black.

Same as Pace Car seat covers, shift boot, shift ****, and e-brake boot.

Gm discontinued all of those.

Yeah, mine is still in good shape, but I always worried about getting the stitching dingy with dirty hands, grease, etc. Same goes for the shifter.

Now I can just drive it and know that I can put the Pace Car stuff back to factory new!

I always thought if the interior pieces fail, I would have them re-done by Vette Essentials. I'm all for OEM on the Pace Car, but frankly I can have it done better than stock - and retain the look.

Nice find!

Thank you for your business. It is on the way to me and I should have it at the beginning of the week and then we'll get it out to you. It is no joke, it WAS the last one available, new.! Happy Thanksgiving.

Lucky you inquired about a new one when you did. And to Gene for finding it.
