Recaro Classic S
Pulling these seats out my project 911. Based on some quick research it looks like these were popular in the 70's and 80's in MB, Porsche, and BMW.
Are they worth anything in the used market? Both have been recovered at some point and are functional. Pretty cool but not the look I'm going for.I'd give them about a 6/10 rating. ![]() Last edited by cknaak; 12-03-2013 at 01:21 PM.. Reason: Should Read: Recaro Classic C not S |

That was a very expensive seat in its day. Still comfortable, too.

Model C, I believe. The LS seats were non-electric.

Recaro
Those seats where $10k when they where offered new and probably the coolest and most exclusive aftermarket touch in many 80's cars (up there with the gooseneck radio-controlled Blaupunkt Berlin and Momo Porsche Design steering wheel). Nowadays they can fetch up to $5k if perfect/redone and about half of that in a working overall good condition. They are very hard to redo right because of so many sections and parts. I have a pair of the Ideal C's with the headrest speaker option that I had re-done for my 930 80's dream machine.

While not in the same resale league as vintage Recaro Sport Seats, which fetch around $5K/set, they are worth some money, esp. in good shape.
