No one said 'rare' had to equal 'expensive'........and no, this is not homemade!

Hardy & Beck 7X15 wheels.  Not mine, these were for sale on SF CL about a year ago, if memory serves...

 

I know there are some FAQ'ers with these on their cars, surprised no one has posted a pic yet...

I have odd side mirrors, splash guards and door sills I have not seen on other cars. I had the red tip antenna but some one broke it off.

Not a good pic, but Italian turn signals, pop-up wind deflector, stone guards, and late alloys.

These I believe are pretty rare.  Came up on ebay a few weeks ago sadly I lost out.

I always look for Vasek Polak stuff since I bought my first 2002 in 74 from him. The MB frame is pre-1970 before he moved across the street to Hermosa Beach and is on my barn find 2800 sedan along with that license plate, very, very rare. FPS wheel is on my NK sedan.

Not sure if this is a really rare item but I don't recall ever seeing one like it before.  The steering wheel is around an inch in diameter smaller than the original plastic one.  Horn is in the center, spokes are painted black metal (unlike the original wheel where there were 3 button on the spokes).  The wheel itself was painted black foam that I covered with a wrap about 25 years ago as the paint was flaking off.  Cant really remember where I got the steering wheel but I liked it because it was smaller in diameter and pretty cool looking.  Does anyone know a little more about this type of wheel and if it is a rare find or not so much.

That is super neat Chris.

 

 

A couple things that have been stashed...

 

Personal Autostrada wheel (horn button has been changed out).

 

 

Villem B. Haan door pull and window crank.

 

 

This stupid little thing, took 2 years of keeping an eye out for it.  If only small-batch plastic injection molding wasn't so expensive.

My '70 2002 (1673695) came with this same wheel.

Wonder why 'satisfaction guaranteed' was crossed out on the window winders? I would find them satisfying.

Pretty cool, my Dad used to go there back in the day.

I have the Hermosa Beach VP license plate frame on the '74tii I got from him.

Sometimes known as the '70 steering wheel. Multiple threads discuss them. Here's one:

Ahhh! I threw a half-hearted bid at these not knowing they are the real deal!

Don't know how rare these are (the only ones I've seen were in a car in a junkyard in 95 when I took them).  Pretty cool, I'm sure the cars running around in Germany probably have them.
