This was pulled from a 1968 Caprice non-tilt column with low miles from California.
The repo market does not replicate the factory ribbed knob as the originals had.
This would go into a high dollar restoration, yes it's that nice!
Absolutely no rust, rust pits or pealing chrome on lever!!
There are just a few minor nicks on the knob. Hardly noticeable in the right light.
May be the same lever used on other Chevy's of the same age.
Make sure this is the correct part for you car before purchase, I don't think this fits tilt columns but I could be wrong.
