Corvette Seats?! What is the deal with C5 corvette seats? Are they complete garbage? Every single C5 that i look at that has over 30k miles the drivers seat is all cracked and looks like complete *******.

It's the fact that most people don't give a **** about their car's interior and let it go to hell.
Combined with GM's top notch matterials they fall appart faster than a Chinese Motorcycle.

Now I just need to tackle the rest of the interior. Anyone got an idea where to get automotive/marine grade leather? Uncle google is decidedly unhelpful on that one (or the AG/MG leather vendors suck at teh interwebs

Sorry to disagree... but really all bad seats show are that either the car wasn't garaged and the sun got them.(Which is also a concern for the paint.)
Or that they simply didn't maintain the interior of the car.
I'd check the rest of the car over carefully.... as you should whenever buying a used car... but I wouldn't let bad seats alone deter you from the buy.

either recover seats with new leather and padding or
get aftermarket seats.
