I pulled out the NOS 1967 Steering wheel but it was a 1966 Red Wheel in a 1967 Box. Sorry. I will see if any of my contacts might have one. The repo's are all the wrong color. In our restoration shop, when we have to we paint them with a urethane paint that we match to the original wheel to get the color just right.

For some reason, I thought the base steering wheel was the same from 65-67, but the insert/horn was different in 67.

The base is slightly different. Where the 1965-66 steering wheel uses a cancel cam that pushes on to the hub, the 1967 and later wheels are a little larger around and have a slot in it that a pin on the turn signal switch pops in to. I have in the past made a sleeve that slides over the hub of a 1966 and has the slot in it so it could be used on a 1967 model year. The 1966 Red wheel I have is the same color as the 1967 one.

Ok, maybe you can find a 67 wheel. Thanks!
Thought the the Scott drake ones are pretty close to
The originals, aren't they?

None of the 1967 Repo wheels are close to the original colors except for black. I have an NOS Black and Parchment  available.
