Default 1969-1971 Deluxe steering wheel

I could probably list this in the Firebird 'parts for sale' section, but I am listing it here instead.

When I first got my car, I was on the look out for a spare steering wheel - just incase;

I have two complete deluxe steering wheels;
One nearly complete steering wheel;
As well as two front/button assemblies.

My spare complete wheels are blue and green.
My spare 'nearly complete' wheel is a black one with no buttons.
My spare fronts are a 69-71 brown and 72-74 black (with black metal insert).

I also have some spare horn button wires (uncut) and I believe a couple buttons that could be made to work (the little end tabs can break off, making them fall out).

I'd have to reinspect it, but I believe that my green wheel may have repaired buttons in place.

As far as I am aware all the 1969-1971 wheels are the same, in that they have a chrome 'ring' around the outer perimeter of the wheel and the fronts are molded in the same colour as the wheel with only a small silver arrow head emblem in the middle and silver inset pinstriping.

The wheels changed in 1972, and the following is being shared to help clarify what is what incase you need to know this:

Rear/wheel:
I believe that the rear 'wheel' portion was the same from 1972 through to around 1977 - it only lacked the chrome ring along the wheel perimeter when compared to the 1969-1971 wheel.

Front/horn button assembly:
I believe that the 1972-1974 front/button assembly was very similar to (and could interchange with) the 1971 part, except they used a metal overlay in the middle (inside of where the silver pinstriping was for 1971, with the pinstriping being replaced by a silver formed bead), with slightly smaller buttons which also had matching metal covers.
I am unclear on when a black metal insert & buttons were used versus a woodgrain insert and buttons.
I believe that the 1975 through 1977 wheels used a large padded single assembly horn button - so you could press anywhere on the front face to activate the horn.

I think I have some red buttons that I could include for the black wheel.

I am asking $100 for a wheel assembly, and open to offers for the horn button assemblies.

Shipping is on your dime, but if you're patient, I do generally make it state-side a couple times a year, at which time I could throw it in a flat rate box to save you on cross-border shipping.
