Jim B Posted Monday at 06:42 PM Posted Monday at 06:42 PM I am currently building the Revell 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS, and I have a question on the interior. I have been looking on the internet for reference photos, and I noticed that there seems to be two different steering wheels. One is a three spokes: And one is a two spoke: So, my question is: which steering wheel would have come standard from the factory on the Z/28 RS?
espo Posted Monday at 06:55 PM Posted Monday at 06:55 PM The first picture is of a Camaro with the optional Custom Interior and the extra cost Rosewood steering wheel. 2 1
Jim B Posted Monday at 07:11 PM Author Posted Monday at 07:11 PM @slusher Thanks for the confirmation, Carl. I had a feeling that the green one was the correct steering wheel. Now I just have to find one as I don't think that one came with the kit. Just a chrome three spoke. @espo Thanks, David. That really is a nice looking interior.
johnyrotten Posted Monday at 07:35 PM Posted Monday at 07:35 PM The monogram 70 chevelle has the wheel you're looking for, but its for an SS. It's a 1:24 kit, so that may be an issue. 1
Jim B Posted Monday at 07:45 PM Author Posted Monday at 07:45 PM @johnyrotten Thanks, John. I'll have to see what I can come up with. I'd like to make this build at least kind of accurate. 1
Jim B Posted Monday at 08:49 PM Author Posted Monday at 08:49 PM (edited) Oddly, the listing for this car also say that it's a Z/28 RS: And someone bought it for $165,000! Edited Monday at 08:49 PM by Jim B
Shark Posted Monday at 11:18 PM Posted Monday at 11:18 PM Back when those cars were new, the dealers and even the factory would get you what you want, so either wheel may be correct. 1
1972coronet Posted yesterday at 12:23 AM Posted yesterday at 12:23 AM IIRC, the rosewood steering wheel was part of the Sports Car Package , which also included a 150 MPH speedometer and other gauges ( not too certain about the speedo's MPH ). * too bad that the late, great @Snake45 isn't with us . He would have the correct info. 1
Can-Con Posted yesterday at 12:46 AM Posted yesterday at 12:46 AM That steering wheel seems to have been available as a "stand alone" option in '69 as N34 - 1 Steering Wheel - Wood Grained Plastic Here's links to a couple really good 1st gen Camaro reference sites. http://camaros.org/index.shtml https://camaroworld.macswebs.com/home.html 2
Exotics_Builder Posted yesterday at 04:50 AM Posted yesterday at 04:50 AM The Revell 68 does not come with the custom interior. But the "Rosewood" wheel was a common add on for sportier versions, including the Z/28. So, either version will work. Here is the interior on my 69 Pace Car (which has the custom interior). 1
Jim B Posted 17 hours ago Author Posted 17 hours ago Thanks for all of the information, guys, I appreciate it. @Exotics_Builder That's a nice looking interior, Gerry.
