I take it from the lack of response that nobody makes these as of yet. I would think there is some demand for this style of interior.

Re: 1983 1984 Z/28 custom seats

The custom upgrade was only offered in 83-86 (I think?) - maybe that's a reason for the seeming lack of a direct replacement? I did notice just about every other style of 3gen seat upholstery is offered at Hawks ( http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/se...sterykits.aspx )... even the 'camaro camaro camaro' style.

I've bought and installed two sets of Hawks' 3gen upholstery kits, one for my 90 IROC-Z and one for the 83 Z28 I had... both turned out great.

Okay, thanks for the tip. I'll check them out. I cant believe nobody makes this interior. I was a pretty popular interior for the early 3rd gens.

This was an 84 only custom cloth interior pattern.

I've got some original door panels and rear seats in this style in several different colors.

Re: 1983 1984 Z/28 custom seats

Since it was a very specific "custom" option, with apparently not many
original issues, the demand for specific matching replacements is not
high enough for OEM's to offer replacement covers.

There are possibilities, but not cheap...
The seat foam replacements are available from PUI, and their web-site
has find-a-local-dealer search.
To get the material, there is another current thread that identifies a
supplier of original style material. (That member showed a vendor response
of ~$90/yd.)
Then DIY, or find a competent-&-trusted upholsterer to make/install the
covers.

Good luck, & keep us posted.
