Default FOR SALE Cashmere/Champagne Leather Seat Covers

Hello,

I'm selling a set of Champagne/Cashmere leather seat covers, made by World Upholstery www.worlduph.com about five-ish years ago. They were for a 944 turbo project that I abandoned. they have never been installed and have spent their entire lives in my hallway linen closet, so never in humidity, or in sunlight. Essentially they are brand new old stock, if you will. They now sell new for 1400.00. I bought them for 1200.00, back then.

They DO NOT FIT SPORTS SEATS! just so everyone knows up front.

I'm asking $750.00 + shipping OBO.

I will certainly consider reasonable offers. Thanks for looking!

Tentatively SOLD to Norse-Man.

Norse man contacted me directly, via pm. So at this point, they are tentatively sold to him. I will make them available again if the deal falls through. Thanks!

Amroth sorry man. When i get around to installing them maybe i will send you my old ones as they are not in real bad shape but i do not think they are real leather. these just look a hell of a lot nicer and was too good a deal to pass on.

Nice full leather versions. You can buy cheaper ones that are partial leather, just the seat faces are leather, same as original. I'm very happy with mine.

No question. The leather on these things is beautiful. It's almost a shame to install them, because then you can't feel the suede side and get the full smells. If I needed covers again, I wouldn't hesitate to get another set for World Upholstery, regardless of price. Really great work by them.

Well, they are on the way, Norse_man! Enjoy! I have hog rings and pliers for them, if you want to DIY the install, but I wouldn't. They are so nice that I'd leave them to a pro.

As an aside, I had a 944 kid ( I'm a 944 old man!) scoff and tell me he could get just as good for 300 bucks, and proceed to bash me for asking 750.00 It's a different universe over here in tail wager land. Thanks again, to all.

Turns out it was even better than you think. I was misquoted by the UPS guy. One I added 800 worth of insurance, they cracked me for 61 bucks for shipping. I seriously despise UPS stores, and similar. PIRATES!

But yes, the transaction between us was outstanding! Thanks! I need a new exhaust manifold!

Is this the way OEM covers are made and fitted or completely different? What about power seat controls? Maybe I have sport seats, will check original invoice....

Oem seat covers have vinyl backs. These are full leather versions. As far as seat controls you trim the leather around what ever seat controls you have when you're fitting the covers on. So it doesn't matter what controls you have or don't have. No holes are precut for seat controls.
