1971 MC Factory Upholstery Pics

[1Bad454]

Hey everybody I'm looking for some factory correct upholstery and interior pics for a 1971 Monte Carlo. Please post if you have any.

Ron isn't the 71 the same as the 72?  I think so!  Hopefully someone else will chime in?   What do you exactly need pics of???

[Dtret]

I can take pictures but I think you have a bunch in my restoration post. Let me know if you’re looking for something specific.

Yes they are except for a few little things.

My 71 black cloth seats when I had them redone with material from CARS INC in 1984. I had the cloth material sewn in by an auto interior shop I knew of.

More pics of the back of the ft seat and the rear seat. The folding yellow seat is NOT from my 71 Monte.

 

[stangeba]

Bucket seats I have from either a 71 or a 72, I don't remember.

Not sure what exactly you need to see.

When I replaced my original ft seat / shoulder belts with 3 way belts for the ft two seats from Morris, I also ordered the (female) buckle part for both bench and bucket seat kits. The shorter ones are made for bucket seat Montes, longer are for the bench seat.

NOTICE I ordered DELUXE seat belts when I ordered my 71 Monte made in Canada. Deluxe belt kit has the smaller metal GM buckles where the other have LARGE plastic buckles.

Dennis here are your seat pics. I noticed the stitching is different from Bruce's green buckets is different. Thoughts?

[Dtret]

I didn’t have a decent pattern for him to go off of. He based his pattern on the rear seat so he didn’t get the double stitch in. No explanation. lol. Here is a picture of my original 72 seats which are the same.

The 1971 Monte Carlo sales brochure has interior photos. You can probably find it online.

[1Bad454]

Thank you gentlemen! I double checked my brochure and it shows them as well.

Thank you Dennis! So is your back seat correct then?

I do believe so. I can’t get pics my 72’s building is buried in snow. Can’t get the door open. lol. The rear seat he had so it should be correct.

10-4.. Thank you! Enjoy the snow. 🥶

Hello gentlemen,

Can somebody please post some measurement pics of the back seat seam that goes across the bottom as shown in the picture? I need seam measurements from a factory original back seat. The arrow shows the main measurement that I need from front to seam.  

[Marks71]

I’m getting 9 5/16 to the center of the welt. 

[Dtret]

I’m coming up with 9” to the center. Remember the only true number is brand new gm. These seats have been sat on ,hot, cold , wet and whatever else has happened in 54 years. I think your best estimate is going to be just over 9 inches. 

[1Bad454]

Thank you so much gentlemen! This is a huge help. The upholstery guy has been hesitant to start until he gets these pictures and measurements.
