How Much Are Rear Seats w/ Headrests Armrest Worth?

[Ben Carufel]

Tan leather rear seat back...no seat bottom. Has headrests and armrest. In excellent condition.

How much are they worth?

[GaryE30]

I'd price them at around $150-$200.

Cool.

I think the headrest deal makes the feel that they're worth more than average because of the rarity of them. I doubt many on here would pay for it though. R3V is R3V, but good luck with whatever you price them at.

I paid $175 for a upper rear seat cushion in black with the armrest from a member on this board. I already had the headrests so I would start at $200 and see what happens.

Thanks guys. I've got two complete assemblies (seat back, headrests, armrest) and need to figure out where to sell 'em.

R3v being R3v and all ;)...

Hey Ben, I don't want to bum you out but if your armrest & headrests rear seat is Pearl Beige then they are more common and don't quite fetch as much. I'd say $85 - $125 before shipping would be a pretty good amount to get for it.

However, if it's Natur Tan from a late model, then that would be worth more.

I sold SuperDuper that black leather rear seat he mentioned. Since it was black and in good condition, it was definitely worth alot more. Simply because it's a more desirable color and it's rare to find a black one in that condition. To this day I still haven't seen another black leather rear seat as nice as that one, while in comparison I've seen 10+ Pearl Beige Armrest/Headrests rear seats in good shape.

Anyway, Good luck with your sale! But watch out, because I have one too so I maybe giving you some competition ;-)

I agree with Todd on this one. The tan won't fetch as much money as a black one for example. I can't imagine you getting close to $200 for it without shipping.
I've sold at least three black leather rear seats with the armrest, but I don't even bother pulling the tan ones when I see them in the junkyards unless I already know someone who wants it.

Here they are:

If they're leather, has anyone here tried to take a tan set, scuff it proper & hit it with some saddle dye.

Had a bud from work who had a fresh blood color interior in his Corvette, and we did his more as an experiment than anything, but it turned out a solid 9.5 on a 10 scale, and in 6 months time it doesn't come off on his clothes or & the bolsters don't show any signs of fading back yet at all.

Has anyone tried going so extreme from tan to black? - red to black wasn't as far a jump.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. My pops re-dyed a set of dining room chairs from tan to black. They look great.
