Hi Doc, the three spoke steering wheel first appeared in 1971. It was used
into 1983 in various models, everything from AMX to Spirit, and usually can be
found in X and DL, also Limited, Sport, GT and later model AMXs to name a few. I
may add that some of the later model ones in 1977, especially in 77 AMX, 78 AMX,
and 79-80 AMX had a fatter grip wrapped in leather called Leathergrip. Really
nice and desirable, but hard to find.
Here is a regular three spoke on ebay now:
and here is Leathergrip
which while spokes are different, the Leathergrip shows how fat is, and
again, you can find the three spoke Leathergrips on some models I mentioned
above.
If your hands get cold or your AMC don't have a working heater (my 82 Eagle
heater core crapped out this morning ight as cold front blew in!) here is
something for you, but would have to change your name to Snoop Doccy Doc
This is what your 72 Matador probably has, this photo is of the 72 Matador
401 46K mile car I had a few years ago:
rather bland steering wheel indeed!
Keep in mind it is a easy switch over to the sport steering wheel, but you
will need a rear spacer for the steering wheel, it is a plastic ring that gose
around column, I believe some of the vendors have reproduced them also, take
care,
