A couple of months ago I posted a "wanted" ad in Panamera looking for a set of black sports seats for my '86 944T. I received a few offers, one asking for $2500 and the other for $3200 and a few examples that would need a full reupholster job on top of the asking price. Knowing that these were all way above my price range I pretty much gave up on the idea of finding pristine sports seats to replace my aging original seats.

Out of nowhere I received an email last week from a fellow 951 guy that had like-new sports seats (electric and heated) for $600. I immediately made the 7 hour drive and couldn't be happier!

I installed them yesterday along with a new only944 leather shift boot, new hatch pin seats, and replacement dash buttons that were faded. The car is just about back to original condition!

 

Nice find! They look great!

 

That's a wicked deal. They are great seats.

 

Excellent price. I purchased a set in very similar condition a while back for AUD$1300. They are hard to come by.

They look superb in your car! Very neat interior.

 

Those look superb - great deal!

 

you stole them, nice job.

 

total steal. sometimes you score a great deal. good for you.
would love a set for my 951 also.
i picked up a set of 996 sports over a year ago now, 20 minutes away, for $750. i never see them for less than $2-2.5k now.

 

Thanks all! I'm still shocked at the deal I was able to get. After a couple of drives, the additional support provided by the extra large bolsters makes the seating position extremely comfortable - although a little awkward getting in and out.

The new seats came out of a 1990 S2 - with heat and electric controls they are substantially heavier than my original '86 non-sport seats. I'll have to remove that 30 year old spare tire to make up for the difference

 

These look fantastic!

 

Dude, those seats look almost perfect. Nice score!
