I have the OEM Recaro seat from a 1973 RSR, driven by Roberto Quintanilla, entered by John McClelland in 1973 and 1975. It raced at Daytona, Sebring, etc.
Quintanilla liked a different seat, and removed the original Recaro. I crewed for them at several races, and knew McClelland well. I put the seat in my GP Austin Healey for many years, but it has been stored for many more years. Do you have any idea of what it would be worth? I would like to see it back in a racing Porsche.
Bumping this excellent resource to mention that I will be listing a 964 Cup Car seat for sale in the next week. If anyone is looking for one feel free to shoot me a message.
Possible additional source: the 968 CS had the same seats as the 964 RS, with a 944 part number. Same seat, different label. Had both, zero difference.
i came upon this thread when recently researching the seats I’ve pulled out of my 996 GT3RS race car, the above is true, here are the seats and the part numbers from my car.
could this "moulded number" be a sticker painted over? Look next to the pic with the number 8.... looks suspect to me... but could be part of the moulding itself.

Now I gotta check mine!
it’s an odd one, looks like the original seat sticker is painted over, but the porsche part number sticker isn’t, yes the number 8 could be a sticker painted over. My thinking is that the seats were painted at the factory as it’s a race car without the same care to remove stickers, but the part number sticker was applied after the seat was painted.
I just pulled my pair out of storage. I believe these are from a 964 Speedster.
I'm working to get these useable in a 993:
1) Does anybody have a good source for new bolster leather (the back surround down to the front)? Porsche OEM? Recaro?
2) Any source for the clips to repair/ replace the "trampoline" to frame attachment supports/ clips (see pic)?
Any help appreciated! Beautiful seats in this thread!
When I bought them, I was told they were out of a 993 GT2. I have no way of verifying that, although it came from a racing team. I got the thin defroster-less rear glass from them as well.

interesting, as the seats I posted also came from a car that was destined for racing From the factory it seems like no coincidence that they both have the numbers on them.
