    I got mine from ebay, they show up from time to time and usually sell for $100+. A little luck is involved...

    here's a pic a friend mine took of a Mav at Bob's Big Boy in LA...

    Took me over a year to find one nice for a decent price.
    Careful, alot of junk ones on ebay that need parts replaced.

    If I remember correctly they only came in Mavericks for one year, 70 I think.

    They are super rare though, I've only seen 3 so far on this board in the past 6 years.

    They are known as a rim-blow. In 69 they started appearing in Mustangs and Cougars.
    They are expensive . The Re-productions start out at $1,200

    And I don't think that company is even reproducing them anymore. But they went by "gtmuscleparts" on ebay

    Original used ones start out at $400. And those are usually missing the pad and have cracks in them. A Replacement Pad alone costs $200. Then you have to factor in the restoration work, you'll have at least $800 minimum into it.

    Thanks for the tip. I consider this car a "driver"....so this wheel is probably too nice for this car the way it is. :rofl:

    The rimblow steering wheel ONLY came on the very early 1970 Maverick Grabbers. Started in February of 1970 and discontinued in April of 1970....so about (2) months. I have one of the steering wheels off of a 1970 Grabber I parted out. Once the steering wheel is restored it will go on my orange 1972 Grabber.
