There's a redone set on fleebay for $3k. Your gonna have to go to a trans am purist page to get that kind of money for them. Here they will buy new ones for less money.

The seats are a one year only 1981 Nascar Trans Am
They are not the same as the black ones posted
these have back rest adjustment from the round dial on the side and also have pull out lumbar on the bottom
so similar in shape but that's about it

Just the net headrests are super hard to find in this condition, had an shop offer me $750 for them ( didnt want to break up the set) so turned him down

The only difference is the pull out lumbar and 2 tone fabric. I have a pamphlet somewhere. I'll try and locate it. The cover shows the Trans Am interior and the inside shows the specs on these seats. I forgot the name Recaro uses for these seats.

I have the original later slider brackets if anyone needs them.

You may have a better chance selling them to the pontiac purists on the PY online forums.

If you don’t find a later model Pontiac purist at that price, have them re upholstered to a nice fresh custom look or to match the original interior theme of the car that they re going in. They re nice cores if no purist around.
Harold @New image interiors in Your local area will do a nice job.

LOL

I talked to Harold already, just dont want to redo this set.

I may have an option to get the same style fronts seats with wrap around head rest that are good candidates to get redone By Harold

Cheers

It's really interesting seeing these seats in such good condition as I love them and would love to have them in my TA. I have similar Recaros now from a later model Jetta. These really are a timeless design in my opinion.

As others have said, a Trans Am specific site would be your best bet to get the most out of these as is. TransAmCountry.com is pretty big with the purists or was. You may have better luck there.

Good luck to you
