1971 seat covers
Can I get some advice on the best brand of 1971 vinyl seat covers with the comfort weave pattern?
I have seen some cars with new covers that looked cheap.
Hard to describe what I mean , but they just did not look original

dmayhew,
I have the original seat upholstery on my '71 coupe. I also bought a used set of same color/vinyl seat upholstery from ebay auction for $1, that's right, ($1.00) the shipping was $9. The covers came and had a tag from Corvette America on them. I compared them and they were an exact match. You couldn't ask for any better.

WOW what a deal
Thanks Early Shark , that is great info to know.
Lucky Dog on the E-Bay purchase. I know the feeling.
I recently purchased a D/S exhaust manifold for a 1971 LT-1 that had been blasted and coated for 9.95. It cost 15.oo to ship
It was a no reserve aution and no one else palced a bid.
Any way thanks again for the interior info.

David,
If you're not lucky enough to find some for $1.00 (WOW) I think Al Knock has very good covers. I bought his ' How To' video and put them on myself. I even spoke to someone on the phone to get some suggestions and answers as I did the work. I was pleased with the product and results.
Regards,
Alan
