Default Authentic or Replica Steering wheel

My steeringwheel in my 66 Coupe is a Shelby GT350 Steering wheel. It's in good shape but looks old.
Is there anyway to tell wether the steering wheel is authentic or replica ? What do i look for ?

Anyone ?

thanks
Mike

I think the 65's had a wood wheel with 9 rivits and the 66'sa wood wheel withno rivits. Only a guess, but I would say its not an original.

You appear to have the same wheel as I do. Mine is a Moto-lita from Mustang Depot. They run about $350. It should be marked on the front Moto-lita. I have also seen the exact same wheel made by Le Carra (sp).
