Saw these seats at the JY, but didn't get them

Snapped a pic of these at the JY today, but didn't grab them. What made them stand out was there were leather!

Re: Saw these seats at the JY, but didn't get them

if it's an inexpensive yard, those convertible specific parts could be worth buying and reselling... assuming they are in good shape.

Did not know this. I did see 30th anniversary engraved in the headrests however. They were in very good shape.

You consider those to be in "very good shape"? The drivers side seat could certainly need a recovering, and I'm not just talking about the trash in the seat. The leather looks cracked & seams split.

They need to be recovered.

Every Camaro built in '97 had a 30th anniversary logo embroidered into the seat headrests. True 30th anniversary cars are white w/orange stripes, w/ white leather or white leather & Houndstooth interiors. Not rare at all, sorry, but nice comfy seats if they were cherry.

Re: Saw these seats at the JY, but didn't get them

Why do JY's always leave the tops down on the 'verts so that everything inside gets trashed? I was looking for parts for my 97 Cavalier 'vert a few years back and there was what once was a pristine white leather interior out in the elements soaking wet and molding away. There wasn't a tear on it. Shame.

Re: Saw these seats at the JY, but didn't get them

I prefer the 93-96 style as opposed to the 97-02. The earlier models had more lateral support, the bolsters just hug you much better.
