1970 red steering wheel
Very hard steering wheel to find, are you sure the 1970 version is being repopped? I don't think it is, maybe Year One goofed? It's a 1-year only wheel with the textured surface, only found in 1970 Plymouth & Dodge A & B-body cars. I have been looking for a decent black one for my car, still looking....and I don't ever remember seeing a red one. If you do find a nice used one, you may have to dye it red. I would look on eBay for one to start.
Ever consider having his wheel restored? Not sure if the could texture the outer rim but the cracks could be fixed...but again, it would have to be re-dyed to match....either way this wheel is gonna cost a good chunk of money to find or restore right.
