    interior pic request of SWB ('68) w/ driver sport seat & pass. stock seat

    Can someone provide an interior picture of a driver sport seat and a stock passenger seat in a SWB car, preferably '68 (w/ headrests)? Trying to determine if I like the look--my stock driver seat is shot, I think. Also, if anyone wants to tempt me w/ a '68 sport seat (w/ headrest) for sale (w/ appropriate base) please PM me. TIA.

    Thanks, Flunder & Mike.
    Mike, that look sporty and comfy.
    I guess it didn't take too much to convince me that that's the way for me to go.
    Now to find the seat...

    All due respect...

    None of the pics are 68' sport seats. Real 68' sport seats had NO head rests'. Ask Eade H., he just purchased a "real" set of 68' sport seats. You can also ask "swbsam". Real 68" sport seats look exactly like 67' sport w/o headrests'.

    I thought the '68 sport seats were the only year with the adjuster handle through the bottom part of the seat and the headrest. That's the situation with my seat. According to "swbsam" photos and description on this post, the headrest is correct.

    68 was a real bastard year of mixing parts but I'm gonna side with Mike on this one.

    Above pic looks like a flat 72/73 leather material to me- but maybe I'm wrong on this.

    I had the seat recovered in smooth leather because I just liked it better. I'm not sure if the '68 seats had the perforations, but this seat pictured obviously does. My seat needed to be recovered when I bought it and had smooth vinyl on the bolsters and basketweave centers, but could have been redone before.

    I have an recaro sport seat from that period, pm me if you're interested. It's in original, unrestored condition, with headrest, w/o sliders and brackets.
