Default Leather seats.

I have a 78 annv. with cloth seats. I don't like that to much. I'm looking to buy leather seats. I'm hoping a vendor sells them but i haven't found one yet? Does anyone know where i can find black leather seats?

Alot of the aftermarket guys have them. Shop around for the best price, or if you want best quality call Al Knoch, but keep your originals so you can have them if you ever decide to sell, the new owner might want to swap them back.

Do you not see the list of vendors on the left side of the page here?
A good many under 'parts' will have seat covers.

Try Google. You'll hit all kinds of things.

All the major Corvette aftermarket providers carry leather upholstery for your car. Unless you want to go the do-it-yourself route, it's worth the cost to have the vendor install the new upholstery on your seat foam, or new foam if your foam is showing its age.

I have leather seats, would rather have cloth. I call leather "the expensive vinyl". Its hot and sweaty in the summer and cold in the winter - just like vinyl.
