[Steering column color on a 70SS]

thepcsurgeon,  I've only seen pics of 2 SS cars that didn't have black steering columns. Both were '70s, and both were on ebay last week. I saw the one you posted the photo of.  The other one was an unrestored car that a had a pretty bad quarter panel on the left.  I exchanged messages with the owner and he said it has a numbers matching 454 and it has the original column. It's not a tilt column. I told him I've never seen an SS that didn't have a black column.  He said it wouldn't look right if it was black and now I have.  He may be right.  He also said it was a California car, but it was built in Baltimore.

You're correct about the bay car.  It was a NH car built at the Flint plant.  Just thought it was odd as I have always read they were all black.  The seller also had no paperwork for the car, I stopped bidding at $19,500, all else seemed correct with the car.

Then that was an unusual picture I found.  That was a Gobi 70SS on eBay that just sold.  Good looking car at a very decent price.

Came across this picture recently and wondering if the steering column was color matched with the interior on the 70 SS' coming out of Flint?  Though I read they were all black.  Anyone else have a color steering column in their SS?

I'm so jealous.  I'm looking for an SS in that shape and it's very hard to find.  Happy for you.......really, I am.  LOL  Congrats and good luck.
