As I'm loading the seats, the guys says "Yeah, I had two other pairs of those that had ripped upolstery and rusty frames...they were getting in the way so I tossed 'em a few years back."

2000 I came back for HS reunion, bought a 73E targa in So. Lake Tahoe for 1200. Engine bay caked with pine needles. Got it going, but not clued onto sport seats then, traded them to college friend in OC CA who was. He still has his 73S so I got his seats in trade for mine including some JC Whitney seat covers and 200 dollars. My sport seats were shagged from weather in Tahoe and sun but all there. Bad deal now that I think of it. David is so cheap, To this day he has neither restored that car or the seats, even though I gave him 500 bucks (on some other deal) and a contact to get the seats perfect for 4K 20 years ago. How much would it cost now to get them perfectly restored? It really feels like I tossed them. I was ignorant at the time.
