    68-71 Recaro Sport Seats

    Original pair of Recaro Early Sport seats and their original tilting sliders.

    $8,000 for the pair and the tilting sliders. My belief is these are from 68-71

    Seats are in San Francisco. Email works best: jamie @ kutchwines.com

    Correct me if I am wrong ... but they both seem to be for the passenger side/right hand side, no?

    Respectfully Sun888 and Boyer73S you are both wrong. 68-71 recaro sport seats were identical on each side. That changed with 72 and 73 cars.

    These are the real deal and rare as can be. No one gives them up as they are in their Esss cars.

    See examples here which will soon follow:

    See Post #37: which states: "There are only left side recliners, and the recliner screws are chrome round head/slotted, the slider/tilt mechanism is completely different....so different it would be difficult to describe. The top slider rails are attached directly to the seat bottom, and the bottom slider has the drop downs that then bolt to the tilt frame which is much simpler than the LWB tilt frame. ( no tilt latch, no seat belt mounting provision)"

    Another example here: http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ro+sport+seats

    Another example and reference to the same side seats:

    Early short wheel base recaro sport seats were the same. That changed with the longer wheel based seats.

    I don't profess to know everything about these seats. I will amend the short wheel base comment. They are from a 69-71 Esss
