wayno Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Funny you say that, Wayno. That was my first thought when I saw this photo, but they appear to be in such nice shape that I just assumed that I was wrong. Maybe they were reupholstered before being installed....... because the lines on them are the wrong way. At least compared to the stock seats in my '66. The ones in my car are vertical, his are horizontal. Either way, they look nice! See how my NL320 seat is made with the smooth part on the outside and the ribs inside, that is how my 67 roadster seats were made stock, but when I put the 68 roadster seats in my car, the design changed. Here is what the NL320 seat looked like when I bought it, horizonal ribs. Here are the 68 seats, keep in mind that this car was restored back in 1995, and it was not a frame off restoration. The ribs run the way one would expect. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Not a great photo of them, but you can see the stock upholstery on the seats in mine ('66 1600). Outer section like his, vertical strips inside. Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm going to jump in here and say that on the first page of this thread he says that the guy that he bought it from told him they were 1600 roadster seats, but who knows for sure. this is correct. Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 here are more pics of the seats. they are not exactly mounted on the floor, but pretty close. and here's one to show how much leg room i have. Quote Link to comment

DatWifey Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hmm. Definitely different looking seats, but they look good in there. They almost look more like '68 510 low-back front seats.... based off of what very little I've ever seen of the rare breed. I dig the wheels you've got going as well. The first time I saw a set of these on a 521 I caught a quick glance of them and thought they were 6-spoke ZX wheels. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 thanks. yea i'm not sure that they are roadster seat cause i've researched roadster seat and i haven't found one with seats that even look slightly similar to mine. But they are comfy and have good leg room. thanks. i wasn't sure if i was gonna like them, but i wanted something different. But with the new tires i'm sold. just need to paint them and finish polishing them up. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 These are what my early 67 seats looked like also. Quote Link to comment
