For sale: professionally reupholstered seats out of a 1988 Thunderbird Turbo coupe
According to the shop that did the work, these are some of the most complex seats to reupholster due to their shape - each bucket seat required at least 24 individually cut pieces of the leather material. The seats were completely redone, including a lot of work to refurbish and reshape the foam. They are covered in a two-tone simulated leather that was selected to match the original raven interior color and texture. French seams were done instead of piping, which gives the seats a more modern, high-end look. Needless to say, they put replacement seat covers to shame. The labor costs alone on a job like this would be over $800. Also included with the seats will be a center console lid recovered in the same material.
I am selling these seats for my brother. He is away in college and decided to part out his car to pay for tuition and other bills. There will probably be other parts for sale soon, but he is selling the seats for sure, so he asked me to list them for him. He is asking $550 for the complete set of seats - this is less than half of what an interior like this would cost. The seats are in very good condition, but there is one small wear spot on the driver side headrest from the seat belt rubbing on it. My brother planned to put SN95 mustang seat belt guides on the seats to address the rubbing but never had the opportunity. Also, the driver side lumbar bag leaks down but can be accessed to be replaced by just by rolling up the upholstery. (If you need power seat tracks, he also has those available separately, but iirc they came out of an earlier Thunderbird.)
If you are looking for that extra touch to set your car apart from the rest, these seats will do that. This shows the seats just after they were done: http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?18756-Finally-the-new-interior (http://"http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?18756-Finally-the-new-interior") I can send current pictures upon request or you can come take a look at the seats in person. The seats are located near Wausau, WI.

beautiful...
The car was inaccessible over the winter, but the snow is all melted now, so I am putting these seats up for sale again.
I still want them what do you think about shipping?
I do not know that shipping would be feasible or cost-effective. I would have to look into it.
