Third gen seats w/ Camaro on back?

I've seen a few pictures of these and I really REALLY want a set in my car. Does anybody know what years/models they came on? The set that I saw were black with CAMARO in the 3rd gen font on the lower-back part of the front seat. If it'd help I can try to track down a photo of the ones I saw on ebay awhile back. Thanks!

I don't know if it helps, but I have a set in my '87 IROC. I've only seen them in better-optioned cars that did not get leather. I don't know if there was an RPO for it though.

They were a extra cost option in 1987 (custom cloth seats) and I had them until I replaced them with 4th gen seats (upgrade in my opinion).

Yeah, they're about as comfortable as sitting on cinder blocks.

Re: Third gen seats w/ Camaro on back?

I believe Hawks has a cover with everything on them EXCEPT the word Camaro in the font. But if you know anyone who's handy with embroidering, you could just have it sewn in.

I believe the subject is the so-called Camaro, Camaro, Camaro seats and door panels. To my knowledge, they never came in leather.

Actually, I believe the subject is the cloth seats linked above. I have them in my IROC. Grey seats with the camaro name in font in the bottom right hand corner of the seatback.

But Hawks doesn't have the Camaro embroidered in. Most likely due to licensing issues with GM.

You are correct about the seats and they did come in leather with the 3rd gen camaro lettering on the bolster.

Re: Third gen seats w/ Camaro on back?

My bad. I was thinking of early/mid-80's Lear Seigler Conteur seats and interiors that had "Camaro" repeated in the seats and door panels. The following pic uses the cloth in more modern seats:
