Default '59 Seats

Jerry,

I have a pair of '59 seats for sale.

I'd like to sell both main frames, both upper seat cushion frames, both bottom seat cushion frames, both retainer rings and all four track assemblies as a set. I'll take $1,900 plus shipping for everything I have. I looked at Corvette Central and each bottom frame with the retainer ring is $750!!....and doesn't include the upper seat frame, main frame or four track assemblies. Corvette Central says "INQUIRE" for price on the main frame...you know what that means!

These seats need to be totally rebuilt. You will problably need to spend +/- $1000 for seat foam, springs, seat covers and other miscellaneous items to bring these seats back to life. That's better than the $3,495 that Corvette Central wants for a set of four rebuilt seat cushions that doesn't include ANY frames or tracks or the $4,300 the guy in Houston wants.

I'm in San Antonio. Let me know if you would like some pictures.

Thanx,

Paul Wolf
