    FS: Vintage Cobra Race Bucket Seats, Similar to Recaro and Scheel

    Pair of seats (UK manufacture) in excellent condition. Brown vinyl on the sides and a brown fabric in the centers. Cushions and bolsters are great. There is one tiny nick in the rear of one seat - see photo. These have a side profile similar to Scheels, but for a lot less money!!

    Can be used without the headrests as well. If you recover them, the holes for the headrests would be completely gone. I do have some sliders for them I could include, but they are universal - not a Porsche specific fitment.

    PRICE DROP - $500. Shipping of $100 in the lower 48 (insured and boxed correctly, shipped fedex ground).

    Feel free to ask questions -

    A couple of questions, please... Are these fiberglass shells like Recaros, or tube frame like some Scheels?
    What are the overall dimensions of the seats (esp. inside width) as well as the tracks; and were these mounted in a 911?

    Thanks!

    I'll measure the exact dimensions when I am back in the shop on Monday, but I can tell you now they are tube frame construction like Scheels.

    These were originally in a 911, but were installed in another car in the interim (hence the tracks modded for the 2nd car). Would be easy to buy mounts to fit or mod these if necessary.

    OK, ran to the shop for some other stuff, and grabbed some dimensions.

    Inner measurements:
    Butt = 12"
    Shoulders = 14"

    Outer/Overall measurements:
    Base width at front = 20"
    Shoulder width = 17"
    Height = 24"

    I am 5' 8" and 155lbs, and these fit great. If I weighed 200lbs, I don't think they would be the seats would fit.

    They didn't sell - despite lots of inquiries.

    I am lowering the price to $750!
