[T3] Factory Steering Wheel?

[Keith Park]

Whats REALLY scary Jim is that I think I remember that 72!
18 years ago I made that first trip out west... WOW!
unfortunately it was squished in your garage and I didnt look inside.

Perhaps your memory was right and someone like ME or Dave Pallo got a hold
of it first, I have a 71 with the late wheel and gauges which I put in it in
1988 when I got it and Dave put the early wheel on his 72 liking it better,
I now have his old wheel on the 71 replacing the cracked wheel off my 73...

and the wheels on the car go round and round....

I'm beginning to think that my memory was wrong about my '72 having a 
2-spoke steering wheel, and the microfilm says I'm wrong about grey 
faced gauges. Does anyone else remember seeing a '72 with grey faced 
gauges? I should have taken more photos. I scrapped out that car 16 
years ago; doesn't seem that long....
