Thing is, the steering wheel is still toast.. maybe you could sell it to someone who doesn't have a wheel and just wants one cheap, but between the crack at 12:00 and the heavily corroded brightwork, it still needs to be restored to be nice. You're either going to spend the money to replace it with a nicer wheel or spend even more money to have it restored, so either way it doesn't really matter because it's still not nice enough even for a driver.
Maybe I'm spoiled by clean west coast cars, but I wouldn't touch that one unless it was a small fraction of that price, and even then it'd only be to keep it as a severe beater. It's basically toast.
