Where can you get these seats?
 
I saw a set of seats in a thread posted here and really like them. Did a quick search and can't seem to come up with these exact seats. Anyone know who makes them?

Those are the new adjustable Vallelunga sets from Stefan at GTS Classics.

Ummmm these are awesome!! I have been considering selling my seats and going to something lower(my head hits the ceiling) and dannng if those aren’t a thing of beauty!!

I have done leather working for 12 years I may have to try my hand at duplicating something like this!

That is once I get my car back on the road!

I'm sure the adjustable version is more complex and heavier than the fixed version.

Until I found the below image I had not realized that the fixed version is a hybrid seat, both fiberglass shell and suspended (like a lawn chair). Normally the suspended seat style has a steel tube/rod frame.

I had no idea that these could be bought as some sort of kit either. Don't know if that is still true, it is a 2019 thread.

Brian be expecting to pay. I just ask about a estimate on some seats I saw that would go perfect in my car. They are pricey. The ones I wanted are from Vintage Seats. Before and after.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1609895268.jpg

If they are from GTS they look more like the Grand Turismo Sport.

Even at that not the same. The top is bolstered and the sides have those chrome hinge thingies. Maybe they are a custom version? I'm kind of diggin on the Monte Carlo's.

I wouldn't think duplicating seats would be too easy, the frames are all different. Nice to be able to try!

jpnovak 01-05-2021 04:36 PM

Brian,

They are not on his website.

The Vallelunga are pretty comfortable. He just introduced the folding versoin with the new hinge mechanism.

I have had some of his seats for 15 years...

RarlyL8 01-05-2021 04:54 PM

Ah I see, have to call for the good stuff, ha!
Four large for seats is not the best use for hobby funds on this car. Nice to dream though ...

Those Vallelungas are beautiful but I have to agree with you Brian.

I've been wanting these for my M491 for 2 years now but always something better to spend car money on like a set of your headers for a 4.0L i'll be building this summer.

Get the headers and compromise a tiny bit on the seats.

I've done a lot of research on these seats from Poland, they are not Recaro's but they ain't Corbeau's either. ;)

Thank you guys for all your comments.
Not all seats are on our old website- new one is to be launched any day now.
Yes all our seats have a metal substructure laminated into the seat,taking up the mountings and the duralastic suspension belts.
The seat pictured is another version of our Vallelunga seat.We make them with RS adjusters at the side.
The Vallelunga Safari has the adjuster hinges on the side, allowing for adjustment of the back and to flip the back forward for better access to the rear seats.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1609902063.jpg

Hi Rarly, Thank you for your message.The GranTurismoSport starts at $ 1495 and than it depends on option, materials and combinations. Happy to make you a detailed estimate- just drop me your email.

911 SLANT 01-05-2021 07:20 PM

Does that last seat pictured come with a head rest? I would like something like the Burgandy and Houndstooth ones pictured.

Uwon 01-06-2021 03:30 AM

Yes, I’m in for the last one with a headrest.
Cheers,
Johan

headrest
 
Hi Guys.
nearly all seats can be ordered w headrest. Even when not ordered w headrest-the mountings are welded/laminated to the frame.You can also use the OEM headrest-same dimensions.

You really do amazing work Stefan, a real credit to the community.

Hi Shaun, thank you for your kind words. I am lucky that I love what I am doing and it doesn't seem like work, lucky to have amazing customers that stayed patience in these weird times. Thank you all.
