the last picture above shows the slight separation on the back of the wheel, about 2" long (i'm not holding it in my hand at the moment) and not structural . . .  i think the wheel is excellent, but it's not "mint."  i used it as-is with no worries.  located in Los Angeles.

I not sure but looks like wood was replaced, mine and most I have seen have a black 3/16 thick line on the back side all the way around, epoxy I think

.    That’s true for the 67 production wheels but not sure about these over the counter 66 units.

There may have been several versions of the 1966 optional wood steering wheel. The one for sale looks exactly like the original that I have – no black line on the back side.

Someone posted pics of the various versions a while back, but that topic was probably lost in the recent forum reboot.
