Any interest in original cloth covered rear seats?

Price: $1
Location: Houston


Description:

 Is there any demand for the original fabric covered seats if they're in rough condition? My 76 parts car (hereafter referred to as "tetanus") has this exact style rear seats. They are beyond rough, I won't post pics of them unless I clean them up, I'd be afraid someone might gouge their eyes out after seeing them the way they are. THEY ARE THE SAME STYLE SEATS AS THE PICTURE BELOW BUT THOSE IN THE PICTURE ARE NOT MY SEATS. PICTURE IS ONLY TO SHOW THE PLEATS (UNPLEATED CENTER) AND APPROXIMATE ORIGINAL COLOR. 

 

If there's any interest I'll clean them up as best as possible and then we can decide if they can be saved.

....The price would be very negotiable  .

 

That is an excellent approach to re-cycling worn seats! I hope you guys make a deal!

Here's pictures of what I have - remember, I DID say they are in rough condition! antho.g4 has first dibs on them, but putting them out here in case he decides to pass:

 

The fabric shows sun fading, vinyl along the seat bottom front edge is in ok shape, still some more dirt that will probably come out - I hit them with some upholstery cleaner, then gave them a vacuum with a shop vac

Vinyl piping on passenger side is worn off in a section.

Here's the back

The passenger seat back vinyl has a hole/tear on the upper top edge & the fabric across the top of the back doesn't have much or any pile. Vinyl along the bottom mounting edge (covered by the seat bottom) is torn.

The frames are pretty bad, and AFAIK that underlying upholstery isn't original :)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
