eBay steering wheels. Here's some examples:
70 GTO wood wheel... same as a 69 Firebird. I'd rather have a nice original wheel than a perfect reproduction. $300 NR

1969 70 71 72 73 Formula fat wheel. $424 BIN. Put a wings down cap on it and that's about as good as it gets.

69 70 Standard wheel. I have two of these and they both have the ick. The sticky can be fixed by cleaning it all the time, but it's more than I want to do. Look for the chrome ring around the outside rim. These wheels are about $200.
I recently bought the wheel below for $100. It's a 71-72 Lemans Sport steering wheel. It has a thicker grip and the spokes are exactly the same as a 69-70 wood wheel. I have one of these in my 69 convert and it's one I found in the junkyard back in the 80's. Any steering wheel was $10, so I found one that was really nice and it's been with me since. I put a black leather steering wheel cover on it and it's been there for 20 years. These steering wheels have a thick grip area. When you put an inexpensive leather cover on it, it looks like a wood wheel with a padded cover. Just an inexpensive option that may convince someone to lean towards a stock looking steering wheel. They pop up every now and then and the condition of the pad isn't really relevant if it's all there and the spokes look good. The repro horn is about $90 in many colors. This wheel is going to be red for my 69 Firebird convert project. I'll need to find out where to get parts to connect the horn to the wheel, because it's just a cap.
