Default Anyone have a leather rear seat FS?

I know a lot of people have done the 'rear seat delete' or have removed the rear seat for track duty, so I thought I'd ask. I'm looking for a black leather rear seat set (upper and lower) in good condition.

Here's an example from another thread:



I'm considering having a spare re-covered in leather, but I thought I'd ask here first.

Thanks,
Mike

The only split rear I see on ebay is in vinyl, but I couldn't use a split seat on my '86 anyways.

Thanks for the offer on the rear upper, but I've already for a spare set in vinyl, and I am looking for leather to match the front seats. I realize the factory rear leather is a rare option, but I thought it would be worth asking. I'll try getting some quotes for recovering from local upholstery shops. Original would be nice, but it would probably be hard to find 20+ year old factory leather in good shape.

ok. This may sound dumb but how do I know if either of my rear seats are leather? I have an 86 turbo and an 89 coupe.

I have an upper in black. Honestly I think it is leather, but I am not 100% sure. I will check it today.
I am in Oswego near Naperville and would take $25 for it.

PM me if interested,
Scott

Thanks, Ben. I'm afraid it won't look right if I get one recovered, so I'm chasing down a few leads before going that route. I may just have to find a good shop and roll the dice.

I forget if my rear is leather or if it's just the fronts. I will check and let you know. I've been planning on doing a rear delete.
