Default Found these at a junkyard

for my 93z28

charcoal grey leather seats.. front and back

2 fronts were 15 each. complete backseat was 20.. so i spent 55.. not too bad. i think i've seen them on craigslist for like 200+

i already had charocal grey leather backseats but went ahead and got the other backseats.. plan on getting a trans am so i'lll save the backseats for it and find more front seats.

Great find. Ours has some F-bods but they have either been stripped or its parts that have sit out in the weather and are no good anymore.

i'm surrounded by u-pull-its....
i can get camaro ttops all day.. i thought about buying everything needed for a t-top conversion and selling it as a kit online or locally.. i've done 2 conversions.

theres some good stuff at junkyards though.. theres another junkyard but i havent been to it lately..it is full of z28s and gt's with the engines still in them.. half of them have rs body kits and good stuff. theres trucks with the toolboxes still in them..

^ There you go by selling something. You can either put the profit towards more parts to sale or to fund something else.

I know you could have not gotten these from the junkyards in Gainesvilles. U-pull it here is a joke and LKQ only wants to take as much money from you as they can.

Top surfaces are real leather , the sides are vinyl . On the back seats, only the pleated and perforated center sections are real leather...the rest is vinyl .

This is pretty much the standard with automotive seats.

i got them at the upullit on normandy blvd. its the 2nd time i've found leather seats there. first time, someone took the front seats and left the rear seats...so i took the rear seats and paid like 20, that was a year ago. then 2 days ago i went just to get a maf sensor off a 98-02 camaro 3.8, and seen a white camaro a couple cars down and it had everything...i took both front seats and the rears.


i also found a RS wing at the same junkyard.. had a rs kit but it was damaged. one time they had a new charger out there that was burnt but still worth money if u took the fenders and painted them and resold them. i used to never find t-tops out there i was assuming ppl beat me to it or one of the employees takes them and sells them, but lately i've found like 10 sets of 93-02 t-tops..


theres another junkyard that has a trans am.. still has the ta wing and rear bumper. has 4 64 mustangs. about 20 beetles. etc. then theres the junkyard by the airport which has alot of stuff...thats the one that has the v8s still sitting in the sports cars.

Let me know how they fit your '93. I'm guessing that you pulled them from a 98-02?? I recently purchased a set of custom brackets (for aftermarket seats and sliders) for a 98-02....they don't correctly fit my '96. I'm curious to know how you make out with yours.

no they were in a 93-97 camaro... not sure if firebirds/camaros had identical leather seats...but i know these come in ta's also..i seen a ta earlier that had the same seats with the same buttons. might've been taken out of a different car by the previous owner. both seats are power.

Those seats are from a 98+ TA. The old owner must have swapped them. Did you get the vacuum/electrical harness that goes with them as well? Hell of a find for that price. I need an ebony passenger TA seat and can't find one here. Mine was pretty trashed from the elements here in AZ while sitting in a yard for six months.
