If anyone is interested there's a member over at the ESR that has the original Recaro Rallye 1 seats for sale. These seats were specifically designed and manufactured by Recaro directly for the 914 starting in '71 and were marketed directly through the dealerships. I'm sure the seats aren't cheap but would look great in that special hot rod build / restoration project.

I traded a Recardo to @peteyd , probably too cheap, but it was never going to fit my ass. He did give me a good trade and I didn't have to ship it... yada-yada. Pete told me later it was really a 911 seat, but he had it reupholstered and made it fit in his 914.
It did look like these seats, but it had a small "Recardo" badge sewn into the back pad. |

Initially I was told it was 911ST, which is big bucks. Then I sent it to GTS classics in Texas and he told me he was'nt certain it was 911. I had him replace the side bolster material and the butt padding, but I had him keep the centre corduroy because I liked the patina. I have a 32 waist and I am snug sitting in it. I like it and its pretty comfortable, but if I was any bigger it wouldn't be so nice. Pete |
