SSpev Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I'm researching for bucket seat covers. Are these right? or What are they from? I would expect a barn find to be likely original. I do like the look. https://barnfinds.com/1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo-ss-454/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I don't think they are original but I could be wrong. Some have said cars inc. Have nice cloth covers and you cant go wrong with legendary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Those covers are not original. Legendary Interiors is my recommendation. I got my 1970 cloth bench covers from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brichta Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I agree that Legendary are the best however they currently have a 6 month waiting list. I'm somewhere on that list (I'm told). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used "Cars" for my cloth covers and was very happy with the product. I worked in an upholstery shop in college and did the install myself so I saw both the inside and the outside. The Cars covers were a quality item, just as well made as the custom "one off" custom and panel replacement / repair work that was done by the shop I worked in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 The ones pictured have the "houndstooth" pattern made famous by the 69 Z/28s. That being said, I have the legendary cloth ones in my 70. Love them. When I brought them to my upholstery guy, he raved about the quality. Bit like others said, they take awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I ordered my vinyl replacement covers, springs and foam (among a ton more interior pieces) through Legendary. Everything for the seats has arrived within a month except the foam, but they told me when I ordered it would be anywhere from 4 to 6 months before I received everything. The vinyl is of excellent quality, and I can’t wait to see how everything looks after the new interior is completed. That’ll be either over this coming winter or first thing next spring before cruising season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brichta Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hey Glen, when did you place your order? I placed mine in the beginning of March. So far, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered mine in January. Called last week and was told they will ship on July 8. I sure hope they are right this time, this is my second time around.

Mike, I placed my order on 14 April. Talked to “Lacy” who was super cool and helpful. I’m still waiting on a ton of other parts - she estimated delivery in July and August depending on which part. Same deal with OPG; I ordered a ton of things from them also. About 80% of it has arrived (console just yesterday! See attached pic) but a few more things are on backorder and not expected to arrive until mid-July. I’m not getting upset over it (yet!) as I plan on doing the interior over the winter or first thing in the early spring next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were just sharing a cool car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
