Well, the '$49,500 firm' on the Hemmings ad contrasts with the 'Buy it Now $39,900' on ebay:

My yellow/yellow z has original yellow houndstooth seats (which do look much better than the repop) and its original door panels. |

The new interiors are almost a day glow yellow. The original was more like the Daytona yellow outside. The houndstooth today is wrong & yellow. The original before fading was gold. I have a some NOS cloth(not enough to do anything with). I have a picture at work I can post showing the difference on the covers. I'll post some pictures later...Joe

I notice the repro cover has 8 buttons as opposed to 2 on the original.
Is that a repro mistake,or did the original lose 6 buttons? Also the repro cloth weave design isn't quite accurate,as well as it's color. Last edited by Mr70; 08-30-2017 at 02:16 PM. |

I tried to pull back where it was stitched together on the original cover to get a picture but I needed about at least one more hand to take the picture. I'll try this weekend.
The original is faded as most are...Joe

WOW the houndstooth pattern is not the same on the repro... the original and NOS fabric are the same pattern, color is off yes, however the pattern is exact.

I pulled everything out into the sun for better pictures. With cloth & vinyl material there are always lot number so the NOS cloth is close to the original on this seat but the other seat I have is more yellow. Go figure.....Joe
