Junkyard Jewels!!!!

Its mostly the tan seats that i mean.Ive seen them before ,but never in person.They need reupholstering,but they are still beauties.I believe these are recaro's first used for 84 anniversary T/A?.Best of all i got everything in the pic.Plus a few more nic/nacks at 50% off.weeeeeeeeee!

I think "jewel" would depend on how much they went for.

Good stuff though.

Holy crap, recaros...

thats a jem if i've ever seen one. Reupholstering them would be downright cheap compared to finding them new somewhere.

It was a T/A about 85-87.Wanted to take the back seats.Since they were in better shape & matched the front seats.

Just thought of that)Even though getting a four of those buckets in my camaro was something i didnt think of till after i paid.Talk about getting creative.
