    Period Recaro rally seats, value question

    Here's my situation, I have these very nice period Recaro's in my 67S, but I would really like a pair of SWB sport seats. Value wise, if I were to sell these, are they in the same ballpark as SWB sport seats, assuming condition is comparable. Reason I ask, is I'm not really keen on spending several thousand to upgrade, so to speak.

    These are totally original, never even tried to clean the mild stain on the passenger seat. They both have early style tilting brackets, not a single tear or hole anywhere.

    I would peg those seats as 72/73 seats. I'm guessing that because of the 72/73 style headrests . They are very cool seats, though.

    Regards

    Why not change the shift knob instead? Go for one of the 917 wood knobs and keep the seats!

    That would sure be a lot easier, hard to stop me once I get an idea in my head.

    Man, my interior sure looks dirty in that picture, maybe I should just clean the car..

    Not really interested in selling until I find some proper sport seats to replace these.

    Bill- I'll venture a guess. I have the same seats, but mine were redone by Tony so not original condition. Mine have the Wedge fixed bases and period (tho not correct) sliders. I've been researching values and I'd put mine at about $4000. Makes me think yours should be valued higher given the original material and condition.

    Love to know the story on the drive that induced your passenger to produce that stain!
