The cool Flaming River Waterfall...
The cool Flaming River Waterfall steering wheel has been equipped with paddle shifting to allow transmission control without removing hands from the wheel. The extra thick rim with leather jacketing makes the wheel much more comfortable to use than the OE spaghetti-thin tiller. The FR wheel is similar in size and feel to the modern Mustang steering wheel.
