I’ve seen a leather seat car before but, never a power seat one.

I believe the number of power seats was 903 for 69 models, with a mid-year 68 intro that sold 278.
I've never seen a verifiable claim on the leather option for either year, but I would think the 69 number was considerably less than 903. Remember too that the color and the code were different for the 2 years.
In my 45 years of being involved with Firebirds, I've seen only one 68 leather car in person, a 68 coupe at Atlantic City auction back in '82, and one convertible on the net a couple years ago which I screencapped.
Of 69s, I bought a used leather interior about 20 years ago from George Olsen who'd parted a 400 coupe, I've seen photos of Scott M's 69 Sprint coupe, saw a convertible at POCI Springfied (94?) with a leather code but white interior, a couple listed on eBay and a couple of Comanches here on PY. I did see one for sale in person, can't recall when or where, a 350 HO coupe with hood tach. Less than 10 I can recount.
