Where is the best place to order seat covers for a 1970 coupe?

Mine came from Al Knoch, top quality materials, you can do the install yourself, but many here have had a competent upholstery shop handle the installation. Good luck with whichever way you choose to go.

I just happened here because of a search. I can report i ordered up everything, even leather, to do my C2 seats couple weeks ago and just got the notice there sending the rest of the order today, everyone said eight plus weeks, took two.
They are/were at 15% off

Tho PO of my 79 bought covers from Corvette America (now Top Flight). They, and Al Knoch, are the only US manufacturers for these items, AFAIK. They are beautiful, and feel great to sit in. They also cost the PO $2000-, pre-COVID.

There is no way I'd spend that on non-clamshell seats. Before you dump money on this, consider a set of C5, 6, or 7 seats from Facebook, or any of the other creative, less expensive, and more comfortable seats that others have used.

The leather seat covers in my 68 and 70 were done my Al Knoch. The 68 seat covers were installed by Knoch when his crew and semi-trailer were at one of his visits to the Pomona Swap Meet. While there I gave him my 70 seats, he took them back to El Paso and mailed them back when complete. Really love the appearance of the seats in their new covers.
