Default 82 dark blue seat covers

I have an 82 with cloth seat covers. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement set? The color is dark blue. I use my 82 as a daily driver and I really like the cloth seats.

I had the same interior and I could not find any replacement for the cloth covers. So I went with the leather-like. I'm sure you could get a shop to make covers for you but they most likely will be costly!

I have looked everywhere....no luck. I might just have to settle for real leather. Even the leather like seat covers are not able to be located in the dark blue color. I am ready to give up and throw in a pair of custom seats......

Al Knoch didn't have them/couldn't make them?

The cloth interior from 79 – 82 is extinct. It was probably a Corvette - only fabric, whereas leather and vinyl are more universal.

Yep, I was afraid that it went the way of the dinosaurs. Al Knoch did not have my year and color leather in stock. It will take time to make. So I suppose I will have to order from them and wait. I was hoping to get the car back on the road soon......

I got dark red 82 cloth covers from Eckler's, but that was 5 or 6 years ago. They didn't have them in the catalog's, I had to call. Others had them too, but again, not advertised - had to call. Maybe call some resto shops, ask where they would get them.

But then again, They could be extinct.
