    Seat covers wanted for 67 911S Targa

    I need a set of new front seat covers for my 67 911S Targa. Originally it had standard seats W/O head rest in black vinyl/black cordoroy, but I can also use black vinyl/basket weave (as most of these seats have) or black plain vinyl.
    Anyone who have a new set for sale or know where to buy?

    Both Stoddard an Performance Products have these to nearly the same price, but which is the best to buy?

    Both of these shops also have decals for engine compartment but with a huge price differance, are Performance P worth the extra $40? Are they on metal foil or plastic?

    Thanks for any help guys!
    Best, Kjell T- Norway

    I have a set of black with houndstooth centers. They were stitched by a shop that specialized in vintage Porsche and Mercedes upholstery. Top and bottom included, stitched and ready for final installation on seats. They're gorgeous. $1000.00 plus shipping. Let me know if you're interested.

    Thanks for your offer, but I think I will go for vinyl covers which are the original fitment in the car.

    I would go with Tony from autobahninteriors.com

    He has done seats for 3 of my 4 67S's. He does great work, has both the narrow cord for these cars as well as the correct Houndstooth check.

    Lots of guys on the board have had their seats done by him, and full interiors.

    I'm sure if you do a search you will see all the positive responses.

    regards,
    Eric

    By the way, Stoddard doesn't do their own interiors, nor does Performance, they probably buy them from Auto's Intl. or Autobahninteriors.

    I should also add that the following people use Tony for their interiors: Road Scholars, California Porsche Restoration, Klubsport Racing, Gary Emory and Rod Emory restorations and racing, amongst others. Tony is hands on in his work, and started from the ground up in this profession learning the trade starting at age 15 from his uncle and father, both of whom are/were in the industry.

    Thank you for useful and important information, I will contact these guys for an estimate for covers, preferably in cord as this was the original equipment.

    I am collecting parts for my 67S Targa to get it as right as possible. Need also rear calippers for vented discs as these have been replaced with standard type. Or just the distance pieces if these are easier to obtain.

    This car will be sold during winter forced by house renovation..

    Thanks again Eric.
