FS: rare Scheel racing bucket seat!

Hi,
I have a Scheel racing seat that I would like to sell. A very rare seat + the super cool slider with the little handle. Unfortunately I do not have the lover rails but I'm working on it to reproduce them. But my first local source has failed. I think that this is not a big challange. If the buyer is interested I would give him one rail from my other seat (see last picture) and he can try to dublicate it on his own. I trust you that you will send it back to me :).
The condition of the seat is very fine - just a little damage ot the top but this can be reapaired very easy. The spots on the upholstery are reflection from the camera. I would date the seat on the same MY like the Recaro R seat - it has no headrest (provision?)! More pictures via Email

Thanks Alex

$1700,-

Or make a reasonable offer :)

Hi Alex, isn't that a seat from the 914 GT with that light weight version of handle ?

Hi Stefan,
well I'm not sure, you see pretty often the Scheel 300 on the GT pictures.
These have higher bolsters on the sholder and on the bottom. I do not know how this modell is called. I think it was produced before the "GT seat" . I remember a early 911 competition where this was a passenger seat.
The sliders are the very rare and original ones. I think they are pretty cool with the little handle on the side.

*bump*

anyone has information of this seat as well :confused:

*bump* and new price!!!

$1550 shipped!

The 914 seat is much more of a 90 degree back angle. It is very obvious if you see them out of the car. Also, as previously stated, the 914 seat has more apparent bolstering.

I own examples of both seats and the 911 seat is MUCH more of a laid back driving position. Ironically, the trend in recent years is much more toward an upright seating position, making the 914 seat something one might consider in a 911... but I prefer the vintage Scheel 300s.

Either way, GL with the sale. Nice seat.
JR

Is the Scheel 300 not the 914 GT seat?
Anyway - *bump* and now $1450,- shipped!

I have, what I believe, the same seat in my 914. The upholstery is different as I had it recovered last year. It has provisions for two different sliders. A very comfortable seat that holds you nice and tight around corners. Recommended.

Hi Nate,
I think you have the König seat in your car - not a Scheel.
This König was special made for the 914. Nice seat!

Yeti,
Thanks. Yeah it does look like the other seat. I get that all the time. However, it is a Scheel. I left the badge off when I had it re-done. I didn't want to poke holes in the new upholstery to attach it. Also, the new material is not a direct match hence the additional confusion. It was re-done by a guy who didn't have much Porsche experience. Good luck with your sale.

Nate, I'd bet that your Scheel has a steel frame and is webbed. Alex's is the fiberglass bucket. The typical giveaway is the shape of the side bolsters.

These are super comfortable seats and given the early slider/no headrest version configuration a fair price I think.

Thanks Michael,
the seat is really nice and the little damages are very easy to repair. You do not need to reupholster the seat!

So a *bump* :)

The one in Nate's car remember me of a Scheel, but this has the a little wheel for adjust the backside :confused:

They both look pretty similar.

Another bump and $50 off.
So now $1400,- incl. shipping :eek:

Do i have the same seat? this has been redone incorrectly but i have wondered what it is ?

John - do you have a pic from the backside? I can't tell that for sure.
Greetings to NZ - was there a year ago for 4 weeks holiday. Spend a really great time there :)

Btw - seat is sold now ;)

here you go , like i advised the recover is poor and there was some padding on the back. Underneath there is two bumps in the fiberglass and on top a past location for a head rest (i think ) under the new cover.
( nz is pretty good at the moment , we have had 26deg clear summer days for over 2 months now , any body heading down this way remember to look us up - www.early911nz.org )
