Question Freak 928 sighting

In the past 5 years, I have only come across 2 other 928s in my region so it was kind of freaky to find another one almost (identical to mine) parked on the street a block from my home.

It was even the same guards red color though had dealer plates and no NYS registration sticker so I could not figure out the year. It was in great condition and is the same body style as my '84 with same spoilers, rims, etc... the only difference I could make out is that the front seats are tapered and rounded at the top.

I am thinking '85 or early '86... Does anyone know what year that seat design came into production?

Seats are "Sport Seats", and an option. Not sure when they first came out. I have a pair of red ones from an '87.
