Want to buy steering wheel for 67 Chevelle white interior

[Nashville Cat]

I've been looking for a repo wood wheel. I ordered one from OPGI over 18 months ago and it's still on backorder.
Does anyone have one they want to sell or know where to get one ? I want to keep it under $300 and these are pushing $400 today.
This one on Ebay is reasonable but I don't like the glossy wood ; looks nothing like the original.

This was not factory installed on 1964-1966 but is a great economical way to replace your old steering wheel.

There's a vette version, thinking a '67, on corvette forum for sale. The vette had a couple inch added to the depth, but it'd be a cool add depending on your seating position.

Just missed it ! Sold a few weeks ago for $125.
But that's exactly what i'm looking for.
Everyone else I've seen wants $400 for the same thing.

Found out some tidbits of info if you want the correct wheel for a 67-68.
The walnut steering wheels before 67 had a one-piece center.
67-68 had a 2 piece center and used a wheel adapter with a cutout where the spokes overlap.
I'm going to get a correct one; they repo them so I may bite the bullet and buy a new one.
The repos are $290, but the old ones are just as expensive.
One-piece center


Two piece center

I'd hunt for an original, it's more fun and you'd appreciate it more knowing it was gm and not offshore. I really don't trust repop stuff unless I've researched to my satisfaction....and that all can be avoided just buying oem. '69 early, about the first 2 months of production used the walnut wheel, then went to rosewood.

thanks
I was looking for a good epoxy repair kit to match the walnut. Most of them have one or two cracks that aren't that hard to repair
