Default Value of this sport seat, with pictures

Hey, I've gotten ahold of this non-power driver-side sport seat from an early car. I'm hoping we can determine the value.

It looks like leather, but it is a faux leather, or "leatherette." It has all parts and hardware, and completely works as intended. The big problem is the rip on the left bolster, but other than that it is in good shape.

A good one is in the ballpark of $500-700. I saw a pair needing recovered for $800. I would guess that puts this in the $200-300 range since it's a single seat and needs repair and covering?

Hint:
As of 2 days ago, the passenger side sport seat was still there, and in great condition, at the Windsor picknpull, row 65. I couldnt get the seat off the rails, but someone else could. The upper section was removed, and it I think it is currently with the people at the front desk, because it was not purchased.

Is there any reason someone couldn't put the upper sport section from the passenger side onto a standard driver's side lower? I think the only difference between standard and sport is the side bolsters...

For one thing, the manual upper seat wont fit on a power lower seat without modification. The whole assembly there is different. As for early manual to late manual, I'm not sure but probably.

The lower portion is different- the middle insert isn't there on a standard 'tombstone' seat.

I agree with konakat at $200-$300.
They are not easy to find and the 911 boys will pay top dollar for them.
You can swap the uppers on the late seats, but not the early seats. The recline **** and hinge bracket would be on the wrong side.

I'd say $100-200. Needs recovering, and just a single seat.
