    HI SHELBY FANS: IM CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO RESTORING MY 67 SHELBY GT 350 STEERING WHEEL AND IM CURIOUS IF ANYONE KNOWS THE TRUE COLOR OF THE WOOD WHEEL. SINCE ITS WOOD I ASSUME ITS A STAIN. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE STAIN COLOR? ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW THE TYPE OF WOOD THEY USED IN 67?
    I HEARD SOMEWHERE ITS ASH OR BEECH WOOD. ANYBODY KNOW FOR SURE? THANKS A TON!!:thumbsup:

    they were made of Beech wood. the stain was somewhat light and darkened from sun exposure, use, and color of the wood on the wheel itself.
