    Question Two different back seats on ebay

    These are different, right? The leather strap length is different. And one seems to be taller than the other. What is this? LWB and SWB?






    I've got to git rid of those horrendous turbo seats!!!!

    More EBAY nonsense. Neither one of those seats has ever been anywhere near a Turbo, let alone, attached to one. Those are, most likely from the early 70s. One is a Coupe and one is a Targa.
    I can't explain why one is shorter than the other.
    911Cabriolets (starting in 1983) had shorter seat backs than Coupes or Targas but neither one of those are from a Cab.
    This is a Turbo back seat.............

    Ciao

    Thank you, Jim, but in my car the PO installed an entire interior out of a turbo. I am working on replacing it. It still has the rear turbo seats.

    So coups and targas are different? Boy am I on a steep learning curve!!!

    Too bad he replace it all because the COA says it came with Sport Seats.

    Coupe and Targa rear seat backs are the same. The strap is different. The Targa straps are longer. Where did the two seats that you pictured come from? By the time that Turbos were mad3e the pleats were horizontal, not vertical on the back seats.

    Regards

    Jim
    PS: I've got plenty of 72 Targa rear seat seat backs, especially, if you want a shade of brown.

    I just frigging love EBAY! The guy has no idea where these came from, what year they fit, or if they even came from the same car (they didn't), but he knows that they are worth $275.00.

    The one with the ridge on the back is early SWB and the other is a year or so later SWB with no back ridge
