Default Are nasty old seats out of a 69 worth anything

I pulled these out of my 69 project and am going with Fiero seats

They are leather and look bad. They are rusty on the bottom.
Are they worth anything?
I am keeping the sliders for my new seats

Default Is this rear window holder worth anything?

I am not going to keep or use this rear window holder from my 69.
It is not in good shape but wondered if it was worth anything?

Thanks
Glenn in San Diego

The head rests are always worth some thing as they can be restored .

ALL Corvette parts are worth something.
These low back buckets with headrests aren't that easy to find complete like yours are. They can certainly be cleaned up, recovered to look like new and then re-used.
While shipping might be prohibitive, I'd throw them on eBay with a No Reserve and see what they bring you. There are enough Corvettes here in SoCal that I'm sure you can find someone close enough to buy and pick up.
Good Luck.

Give them away to someone that might need them and is working on a budget. Why is someone always trying to get the last penny for their corvette junk. What are you going to get 50-100 bucks...maybe.

Default I’ll take ‘em.

Glenn

My seats are beat in my ‘69. I want to have them done but it takes the car off the road. Let me know what you’d like for the seats plus shipping. If you’re ready, I’ll take the Quadrajet too! Thanks.

Jeff

Default Trays

I have 2 of the trays in excellent shape and they were both around the $200 to $250 range. You be the judge on yours!

I will tell you why. Because restoring one of these cars is very expensive and every 50 and 100 dollars I can get helps in the long run! And I would hardly call complete 69 seats and rear window tray junk, in any condition! Who’s to say the op isn’t working on tight budget too. Carry on!

To the op, I sold my rear window tray for $250 here on the forum as Roger stated above. Yours looks to be in nice condition.

the seats are worth nothing, send them to me and you pay shipping and I will gladly dispose of them properly inside my car.....

Okay I'll pay shipping to help you out of your dilemma, I'm a nice guy that way.

I don't want to toss them if I can get something for them

Glenn in San Diego
Don't toss them!

Those seats were only used in late 68 and 69, and are very desirable.

Your seats, second design 68 and 69 seats, with the headrests, and without tracks, are probably worth $600-$800, in their current condition.

A 69 rear window tray, with the hinges and latch intact, is easily worth $350.

Nah, worthless. I'll pay shipping and take them off your hands...

Seriously though, nothing on our cars is worthless. List them for a few hundred and they will sell.

I paid $500 for a set of nasty old seats out of a 65 twelve years ago so yes your 69 seats have value.

I agree

I would say you have in your hands a minimum of 300$+150$, if not 600$+300$

There is value.
Maybe not to you but certainly to someone!

Many years ago I paid 50 bucks plus shipping for a very nasty set of 69 headrests.
The seller was absolutely amazed that I even wanted them and would pay! For me, they were made of unobtainium. I had to sell my last dust particles of upsidaisium to afford them!

Once I restored them, they have never left my car since!
Please save and sell them to someone who needs them!

Scott
