Lime Green 70, Thanks for the info on "Thumper". Seems like the driver's seat is from a early 2000's vette. I purchased a new 2000 Corvette that had tan air bladder seats. I drove it several times to visit my parents in West Covina, Ca. It was 400 miles there, and my butt was not sore when I got there. That is why I am interested in the seats. But not cheap to re-cover. The mounting brackets present issues.

Found many internet articles. "Thumper" is a 69 AMX wearing RWB, 401, Richmond 6-spd, full roll cage, certified at 180 mph, runs in the 165 mph class @ Silver State Classic race, #53 on doors.  
Looks like mid-80's to early 90's Corvette seat.

There is a pair of tan 2014 Ferrari 455 seats on ebay right now that will work and come close to the original AMX tan interior, but I don't want to spend $5,900.00 or best offer. A Recaro outlet in Berkeley, Ca owner told me to bring the AMX in and they will install their finest sets for less than $3,000.

I sat iin Thumper at the AMC meet in Denver around 2003 and thought those seats were incredible.
