Yes, the Formula wheel was an option beginning in '70 on the GP and through '72 I believe.

I assume since 455HOs were available and Formula steering wheels that you could order Honeycombs too? That would be the bomb.

I believe Honeycombs were available starting in '71.

----I ordered honeycombs on my 72 GP SJ as well as just about every other option. Great car, but sold it to my cousin in 1973. I always wanted a 69 SJ and now have it......Bill S

Bill... what were the colors of your '72? Got any old photos of it? The '69 is my favorite too, with the two available 428 engines and those hidden inner door handles are just to cool.

----Grant,,,The 72 was pewter with a white vinyl top and matching pewter gut. I also ordered the fabric bucket option which I have to believe would make it extremely rare today. I have asked my cousin if he remembers who he sold it to and he doesn't have a clue. I'm guessing it's gone, but I keep sort of looking for it!......Bill S

Bill... no kidding, I had a loaded '72 J with the 455 in the same colors except a black top and with the standard vinyl interior. I do like the look of the '71-'72 cloth seats and they seem to be far more durable than the vinyl in those years. That would be great if you could find your old SJ... Grant

Relisted with a $50,900 BIN price.

----Grant,,,I have always been a sucker for silver/white combos. I ordered the 72 from a dealer on Cape Cod, but knew that I was going back to south Florida so in my mind the fabric was a good choice.....Bill S
