SOLD THANKS
time has come to pass along this piece of history.
This is the steering wheel that was installed in the car that won the 1971 24hr of Daytona back in 1971, my father removed the wheel after the end of the season and kept it all these years. Its in excellent condition , no tears no rips , just nice patina from one season of racing. Comes as picture with the somewhat customised 914-6 GT solid hub. and Porsche horn button. Will also provide a letter written by my father to certify the authenticity. Not cheap, $ 1,000 USD plus shipping for this piece. please contact me via PM if interrested.
see pictures below.

Given that 380mm Momo Prototipo wheels (such as from Ferraris and early Porsches) are going for around $3,000 each at parts auctions (when they actually come up for sale, which is rare), and coupled to this particular wheel's racing provenance to a specific Daytona-winning car...

...someone just hot a smokin' hot deal. I mean smokin'...

That wheel should have gone back to the original car, and at a much higher price.
