suchan Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I think he's suggesting the upholstery is re-done in a non-authentic way. Does look a little cheesy.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick5563 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) I’d take it. I like the seats. It’s a TBird pattern. Edited July 25, 2020 by buick5563 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hokey aftermarket wire wheels just don't look right - to me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancemb Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Wheels are easy and cheap to change; upholstery isn't. For someone who cares, that makes it a no-go unless price is discounted enough to cover upholstery. It just baffles me how many people spend essentially the same money to do upholstery non-original as to do it authentically. If you like it and will keep the car forever, fine. But if there's any chance you may want to sell it down the road, you're at the least making you're pool of buyers much smaller and possibility greatly affecting value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Sorry Matthew - I owned 2 1964 Electra convertibles, 2 1964 Wildcat convertibles and a 1964 LeSabre convertible. As Lance suggested, keep it forever it’s your car but I’m not buying it specifically for those seats. There are relatively plenty of these 60’s GM convertibles in nice shape for that price of less. Pass... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Seeing seats done incorrectly, I think the cars are often owned by novices in the hobby. They don't know where to get authentic material, thinking it's long extinct; they don't know the value that hobbyists put on correctness; and their local shop probably does all sorts of things, such as sofas and boat covers, and doesn't know the sources either. But the novice will soon learn when he goes to sell-- unless he sells to another novice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 John. Correct especially with fabric. But the seat pattern is correct on this car it’s just appears to be vinyl when it should be leather I suspect he wanted white where he sat. But the cost to do the whole car was too much.

NC-car-guy Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 If anyone was interested, I have on good info this is a $4k car and the seller is non negotiable from his 13k asking... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
