That would be a pretty cool retro modification to a stock car to have a set professionally done in a different color. BTW when it comes to rare 69 Firebird stuff, I have a buzzer warning speedo that I'm pretty sure only came on about 200 or so 69 Firebirds. It's in mint shape and is in a pile of rarities I plan on putting up for sale soon.

Hi all, Attached a pic of the gold leather power seat in my 69 Comanche Firebird. It is the Instant-Aire option that garners the most discussions.

Wow what a cool car. Can you share any details on who did the upholstery on the car, or is that original?

I’m wanting to use my leather interior as well and will need to know how you found a hide dyed in the weird mottled gold.

I found an old post where you told us your source.

Hi,
We looked through a pile of leather samples and compared the color to the original seats in protected areas. This was as close as we could find. Attached is a picture of the tag glued on the back of leftover scraps of leather. I think the two hides came from a company in Texas.. maybe. Tag says "Manilla Sand", two pieces, total was 114 sq ft

The original leather bucket seats were worn and drivers bucket was beat. Just had a local auto upholstery place redo with two hides and asked him to match the original. Its not perfect but overall was happy with his work

Another fly by night outfit once again passing off a Bird that's fairly good looking but is a Resto-mod at best.
