1976 Corvette upholstery
 

Seeking some technical help from our Corvette crowd. My friend has a 1976 Corvette that has a Firethorn Red interior. Before he owned it -- someone in the past replaced the seats (black) pulled from a 1975 model. He wants to install new upholstery but the problem is the 75' models did not have the Firethorn Red interior. The question is -- will 76' upholstery fit the 75' seats? If not -- does anyone know where there are a pair of 76' seats that can be reupholstered?

Thanks -- TAZ :dunno:

Call Masterworks, talk to the owner

----His name is Werner, and that's a good call there Burd!

Also Al Knoch corvette interiors in Texas. He is a huge manufacturer and supplier for the corvette community. I purchased a full interior kit from them for my 1969 corvette coupe. They also recovered my seats at Fall Carlisle a few years back. They set up at Carlisle and with an appointment will recover your seats. Replace conv tops etc. they’ve been around forever. Rob

IIRC my 69 vette had a TRUE comfort weave, are the newer reproduction covers pressed or actually woven?

The upholstery will fit. It is wise to replace the seat foam as well.

Thanks all for the input -- we have a plan now!! TAZ
