What?? are these seats out of?

Post by 72 RR fan » Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:38 pm

They reside in a 71 RR I was looking at..

The're not the best pictures of the seats, I know...Are they Charger? It'd be a fancy restitch for an upholstery guy. Looks like a kit with some age on it. If they're out of another model, would the seat frames at least be correct for a re-upholstery job? Thanks, Brian

Those appear to be 71 b-body seats so I'd say that every thing should work just fine for recovering.
Looking for NOS 71 RR wheel lip molding

looks like someone added quite a bit of padding there...look like they belong in a town car (the style) should be able to get that junk off and make em look good again

I was kind of thinking cordoba-looking, but 76 charger looks and sounds right :beer:

Wow, 76 Charger...Ricardo Montalban would be so proud! LOL! Dead on! I looked at the CarDomain site. No doubt, that's them...Ughh, then the rear at frame is probably cobbled in there..The seat frames do looke very simialar though. My 72 RR is a bench, so I have no firsthand for comparison. Cool, thanks for the heads up, I really needed a quick answer.
