    Help!!! Seat Identification

    As I know little to nothing about all things 911, I was hoping someone here could help me identify these seats. What are they called and do they have any value? Don't mind the DIY upholstery job that somebody did, other than needing recovered, they are in pretty good shape. I was told they were Recaro's many years ago. They are obviously the wrong seats for my car, so I am looking to get rid of them, and somewhere down the road, come up with the proper seats for my car. Thanks for your help!!!

    And very ugly ones at that Josh. At least they had sheepskins on them to prevent direct contact with bed bugs.

    Once sold you'll be on your way to owning the correct seats for your '66. Heck, you'll have enough dough to purchase one clapped out recliner. lol


    Email me if you can't find a set; I'm sure I have spares. Would love to help with your father's car.

    Frank and Ed, thank you much for the help. Frank, I will see what I can do about getting rid of these, then I will be in touch down the road about finding the correct seats for the car. I'd like to accumulate all the original parts it is missing, which hopefully isn't many, but seats seem to be the biggest item on that list right now.

    Thanks guys...

    They fit 74 - 84. Don't waste your time trying to sell them. They have no value at all, especially if they need to be shipped to somewhere other than Alaska.
    Your car may have a decent adapter for those seats and those may have some value, though. I've filled many a dumpster with those seats, most in way better condition than yours.
    Please don't take this as a knock on your seats. I'm doing you a favor.

    Regards

    Jim

    Thanks Jim, I appreciate the help! No knock taken. I know I have some pretty silly questions about these cars, but gotta learn somehow.
