Default WTB: Early 928 sport seats

Looking for early sport seats, in any condition, manual.

Prefer black, but I will redo them, so its not so important.

There was a guy who picked up a tan set from pick n pull in your area (San Jose) late last year. He posted pictures and questions about the seats on one of the forums.

Good luck on your hunt for them. You could check to see if anyone is parting out a 944, as I see 944's have them installed way more often than 928's do.

Be prepared for $500+ usable cores though, you are competing with 911 owners who want them too.

I have a pair of EARLY sport seats in black in fair condition as they are or good for recovering. They are $450 plus shipping. Where are you in Norcal? I could take them to Victorville in the next few weeks when I have to go there.

btw, none of the above pictured seats are the ones Im looking for.

These are the early 928 (and other p-cars of the early 80s) sport seats.

note the lower seat cushion is not attached to the side bolsters. the lower bolsters also have piping on the top egde.

I have a set they are black sport seats from a 1983 944 the same ones pictured above however they are cores only as the leather covers are in very bad shape, ripped and coming all apart on the bottom center and need recovering, they come from a clean CA car the drivers side slider is nice the pass slider has a bit of corrosion and I did clean it up and re grease however it could use a good taking apart while recovering and wire brush and repaint. The foam is in good condition in most places and side bolsters are not bad at all major problems are bottoms.

$250 pickup in Northern, CA

$350 shipped greyhound CONUS
