Picked up a 75 with pretty low miles. Does this seat material look original to you guys? I dont see an analogous reference in the literature I am seeing... any thoughts?

Most houndstooth materials I’ve had in hand are super thin. Look cool but probably won’t wear well. ‘Pepita’ is what most Porsche’s had back in the day. Looks similar (it’s actually a contrasting black and white block pattern) and the material is thick. Google them and with a little staring you’ll be able to tell the difference. But I’d get samples and check before you plunk down your money!
