Is the attached a correct '68 Charger steering wheel?  I don't really see many/any with this wheel.  I just want to make sure before I send it out for restoration and part 2-who does a good job restoring these?  My car is a pretty early car if that helps.  What color should the wheel be? woodgrain?  I have a black interior.  This is just a pic I found, not my car.

That wheel is just black (or interior color if it was blue, green, etc.). I'm not sure I'd pay to "restore" one when there should be plenty available as it was the standard wheel on a lot of stuff. Is it cracked? The horn parts can rust I suppose.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Good to know Troy, and I am not exactly in love with it either,  mine looks like the far left one from the brochure ODZKing posted, but it has an different looking center cap with a fratzog on it and all metal, I will take a pic when I get home.

Actually the center cap you posted looks like 66-67 B body Coronet and Charger. But they could have used them as you mentioned it was an early build, anything is possible.
My 67 has 68 style wing window handles.   :shruggy:
