Default NOS 487290 1973 Formula Steering Wheel in the box

Found this early 1970's fat Formula wheel during my ongoing garage cleaning.

It's in the original box which has a USPS ship date of March 3, 1975. Box has the 487290 label on it. Comes with hub, center cap, and horn button assembly.

The wheel is beautiful and as perfect as an original piece can be.

Perfect for a 1973 or 1974 Super Duty restoration.

The wheel measurements taken with a vernier caliper are as follows:
1.150 when measured against the seam
1.120 when measured against the front and back round sides.

When you wrap a standard business card around it you get a 3/8" gap. No molding code on the backside. Has the double seam visible on the outer circumference.

$2,000 plus shipping and insurance or you can pickup in person in central NJ.

I'm happy to take more detail photos if any one needs to see a particular spot on the wheel.

Thanks. It's amazing what you can find in your own garage after decades of acquiring stuff and forgetting what you acquired.

The original GM box is fitted to the exact size of the wheel and collar. As far as I know they came as an assembly with the adapter (collar) already installed. Since I've never seen another one in the box, all I can really do is give an educated guess. Anyone else know?

The wheel/hub looks untouched. The horn adapter has what looks like a wear mark on the mounting surface so that could have been acquired elsewhere. I'm including the adapter and horn pad and little spring, plastic plug and metal contact as part of the package so it is a complete setup. The horn pad with emblem looks mint.
