Well, the '$49,500 firm' on the Hemmings ad contrasts with the 'Buy it Now $39,900' on ebay:

My yellow/yellow z has original yellow houndstooth seats (which do look much better than the repop) and its original door panels. |
The new interiors are almost a day glow yellow. The original was more like the Daytona yellow outside. The houndstooth today is wrong & yellow. The original before fading was gold. I have a some NOS cloth(not enough to do anything with). I have a picture at work I can post showing the difference on the covers. I'll post some pictures later...Joe

Comparison of interiors. 1st picture, original LH, repro RH. 2nd picture NOS cloth against original. 3rd picture NOS cloth against repro....Joe

I notice the repro cover has 8 buttons as opposed to 2 on the original.
Is that a repro mistake,or did the original lose 6 buttons? Also the repro cloth weave design isn't quite accurate,as well as it's color. |
Well. Let's see 2 & 4 is 6. :) I'm missing 6 button from the original cover but I have some more around the house. Anytime I see yellow seat stuff, I usually buy it & put it away. I hope to use the back covers in my car if I can darken up the yellow a little...Joe

So the NOS cloth material is more yellow than either the original or the repro? Interesting.
|
I tried to pull back where it was stitched together on the original cover to get a picture but I needed about at least one more hand to take the picture. I'll try this weekend.
The original is faded as most are...Joe |
WOW the houndstooth pattern is not the same on the repro... the original and NOS fabric are the same pattern, color is off yes, however the pattern is exact.

I pulled everything out into the sun for better pictures. With cloth & vinyl material there are always lot number so the NOS cloth is close to the original on this seat but the other seat I have is more yellow. Go figure.....Joe
