Steering wheel?

Anyone have a pic of what steering wheel is SUPPOSED to be in my 67 XL? At least I THINK it's an XL, not sure what the 500 differences were. It's has a mahogany Grant wheel in it right now, and I'm not the wood grain type. That's not a good thing, cuz from what I'm reading, the 67's came with wood grain wheels.

Any help?

THANKS!!!!

well heres my 66 not sure if its a 500 or what cause its my other car..

i doubt there were any big changes aside from black or wood but i'm not certain

YA know GOOGLE is a wounderfull thing

67 XL

I tired the Google thing, and didn't come up with anything definite, in regards to what wheel in what model. Trying to keep the dash all original, even found a pristine unmolested gauge cluster for it. Radio holes intact even!

Anyways, I'll keep lookin and thanks for the help!!! I like the black one you posted, that'd look pretty kewl in there.

my 67 500 has a wheel like the black one in pic but with the padded center like the red pic.

yea the red one looks just like the 67 stang i worked on. i dont think its fairlane stock.

I thought it might be a Stang wheel, looks like the one in my Mom's '66.

What exactly was the difference between an XL and a 500? Was it all trim stuff?

I'm thinking this bad boy here will look nice with the chrome on the dash:

I used to own a 1967 Fairlane GT (see story elsewhere about the odd-ball engine) but it had black interior. Took a few pictures to which I cannot share, for the scanner pooped out.

But steering wheel was sort of thick in section. Not as thin as the Mustang era ones. For the Fairlane was a bit more to muscle around in traffic.

Another fellow had a 67 and it was of the six cylinder variety with standard steering. We had different diameters of steering wheels. His being maybe one or two inches greater. I had problems catching my sleeve on the Promboscuous coming from the center hub. He had a broken horn, so broke it off too.

One thing I do remember, was the car sat outside in the Palm Springs sun most of the day and just about everything inside the car faded to a red-brown.

the black one pictured is a 500 wheel.If it were a fairlane(not the 500) it would have a small horn button.
