Anyone recognize these seats?


Anyone recognize these seats?

They were sitting in a 1992 Camaro that I parted out. Nice seats, but I plan on selling them and would like to know what they are out of?

At first I thought they were Recaro seats out of a Mustang, but they are a different pattern. May still be Recaro's just not sure from what.

Yes, they are mine. Please return them, as I like them very much!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Don't know what they are from.

Re: Anyone recognize these seats?

They might be recaros, but not early third gen.The contours differ & the headrest is missing the mesh screen.

Re: Anyone recognize these seats?

Thanks guys - this has puzzled me and my friends. One thinks it may be a limited edition from an early Pontiac Firebird / Trans Am. Others say Fiero, Mitsubishi Conquest, etc.

I do kind of like them, thought about keeping - but I'm happy with the seats I have right now (4th gen trans AM).
