    FS: Recaro lightweight seat for Lightweight RS, ST or 73-74 RSR

    This is a Recaro lightweight seat from Interscope Racing. I am asking $5,500.00 for it plus shipping from the 94010. I have it at a friends shop, Retro-Sport, so people can look at it in person at anytime if in the area .
    Feel free to PM me with any questions.

    Here is the link to photos

    Here is the description

    This is a single Recaro lightweight fiberglass race bucket seat used in 73 Carrera RS Lightweight and 73-74 RSR as well as 911ST race cars. They're also ideal for 69-73 911 models. The fiberglass shell is in good condition but the cloth covering will need to be redone. It comes with the sliders and brackets to mount on early 911 models up to 1973 models. This particular seat was used by Danny Ongais in IMSA event while racing under the Interscope Racing livery.

    What a great seat. It would be a shame to re-cover it. I have never seen one for sale. Pretty sure it is 1973 IROC but I don't remember the lap belt holes. (Uli help?)

    I have the passenger side if someone buys this and needs a match. The belt holes are original.

    Rick,

    Does your seat have a fixed or adjustable back?
    The lap belt holes in VZ935's seat certainly look original. Do you know for sure if they were that way in the IROC cars?
    I did not know that the IROC cars were even delivered with a passenger seat but found an original photo of one. Could not tell
    if it was fixed or adjustable. Thanks.

    Here are some nice photos of the PHARR YARNS 73 RSR. It shows both the drivers and passenger seat. My seat is identical. This seat is out of the Interscope RSR

    My seat is one piece fixed back, cloth and roving construction, no headrest provision, smaller side bolster than drivers side, not sure about the IROC cars.
