How good are Pelican's sport seats?

Our host has several nice looking sport seats available for sale. I am particularly interested in the "Monte Carlo" model, which is reclinable:

Has anyone here actually bought/tried/seen these seats and are willing to share your opinions? I have done a search of the board but was unable to find any feedback.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments!

Search on torino seats. There are many, many posts.

Also, here's the mfr web site: http://www.gts-classics.com

Thanks RallyJon - lots of good pics at the mfr's website. I did find some posts commenting on torino seats, but additional comments on the "Monte Carlo" would be welcomed.

I did the research at one point and everyone said that they were extremely comfortable, looked good in early cars and were high quality but did not offer the best bolstering for extremely spirited/DE/Auto-X driving.

I spoke with a guy on this board about a leather set for I believe $1100-1400 but the transportation cost was prohibitive.
