Going to buy a GTA

The body on this car is absolutely MINT. It has the L98 w/ a few performance upgrades. Here's the thing, the entire interior of the car is in dire need of a complete resto. (minus the dash and plastic pieces.) It seems this car sat in a police impound lot for 4 years after a drug bust and the cops tore the hell out of the interior looking for "stuff". So, here is my question, are there any interior kits that I could buy to reupholster this GTA? Thanks-

And if I wanted to take it to somebody to get the inside of the car redone, how much would I be looking at to pay?

Well, what color is the interior? I am currently about to buy a set of black GTA seats, but I was also thinking about getting rid of my '83 in order to buy an '89 GTA. If I get the '89 GTA, then I will not need the seats. I was going to put the black GTA seats in my '83. I will let you know. If so, I will refer you to the guy that I was going to buy them from. He is located in NJ though.

Thank you for the response.

The interior of the car is black cloth. (Did they put leather in these cars?) If I may ask, how much is he asking for the seats?

He is asking $300 for the set. Do you think this is a good price? I am not sure if I am going to buy them yet. It all depends on what happens with the GTA I might buy. If I buy the GTA, I will sell my '83...therefor I will no longer need to buy the black cloth GTA seats. So, if I get the GTA...I will refer you to him. If not...then keep looking you will eventually find a set. Or go to a shop and have them reupholstered.

Yea, actually there is. I decided to keep my '83, therefor I am buying the set for myself. It has the power lumbar and he said the cloth is in mint condition. The only problem is that the headrest does not stay in the up position. He said it tilts fine, just that one problem. Now I need help with wiring the lumbar to my car. I have a power driver seat in my car now, but it doesnt have the lumbar option. How will I get the lumbar option to work? I am going to try and talk him down a little bit though on the seats.
