Default Steering Wheel Confusion

I want to get a new steering wheel--the one with the leather spokes, instead of the satin aluminum which I currently have. The spokes get hot, and the sunlight reflects into my eyes with the top down.

Anyway, I noticed there are several vendors that list the GT500 style with red stitching, the GT500 with black stitching, and the Bullitt.

My question is, what's the difference between the GT500 with black stitching, and the Bullitt steering wheel? They look identical to me, but they often have a price difference of about $50 between the two, with the Bullitt usually the more expensive one. So, is there any difference between the two?

Thanks for your help.

hahaha, that's a great question because I was looking at that same darn thing today actually and could not see any difference other than price and couldn't see why the bullit would be the more expensive one. I have the same issue other than I don't have the glare. I hope someone can answer this one

I think I may have the answer. From what I've seen, the Bullitt has a dark gray bottom spoke, whereas the Shelby has the satin spoke.

The stitching on the Shelby is red while the stitching on the Bullitt is white. Only difference I know of.

You can get the Shelby with black stitching as well, hence my original post.

I was in SAC from '84 until its demise in '92--loved it!
