Dibs on those seats if you ever swap them out for something else

I might be open to it if you have $25k and can help me source 996 alien buckets in Perlon lol.

The prices on these parts are nuts. Have been casually looking for 997 folding buckets, but the cheapest I've seen is ~$14k.

Congrats on the car man!

Corbeau is making new replicas. Apparently you can contact them directly for custom work.

Of all the forums I frequent, this one has the nicest cars.

Thanks! I saw a set on eBay for $16k, but they were beat up. I'd be cool with giving you a discount, but I don't think I could price them in the teens---if interested, just shoot me a text and we'll figure it out. There's a guy on RL who lives in Europe and sells GT3 seats all the time, and I could send you his information as well.

Thanks. I've briefly looked at them before, but they seem like low quality reps. I think I'd rather have the genuine Recaros.

They are definitely a dog but to me, that's part of the charm. It's not the vehicle I choose if I'm in a hurry. It's perfect for a scenic drive or running errands around town.


Like most enthusiast vehicles, pricing has come down the past 6 months. Good time to buy! What's your end goal with usage?

Pretty much exactly your use case, my around the town cruiser/classic that I can throw our Husky in the back of. In a similar vein I'd love a Range Rover Classic LWB, or even an XJ Cheerokee (my family had a bright red XJ Sport about 20 years ago that saved us in an accident and was totaled out). Something about these old boxy SUV's that weren't gargantuan makes me really nostalgic

This design has aged so well. Great interior too.

Yup. Old, but great.
