Hey fellas
Does anyone know where I could buy replacement upholstery for a 71 Valiant 4 door? You know... the one without the split in the front bench seat? I've tried all the usual sources, but none of them have the right one. I don't care if it's a perfect reproduction, I just want it to fit properly. All I care is that it's a blue color of some kind.

Any ideas?
 
Same thing for me. I posted somewhere maybe couple months back and best reply was to get custom made covers. Supposedly a place in Oregon could have my cloth material. My '69 also blue, but cloth and vinyl. If it was all vinyl there would be no damage (just dash pad and carpet). Today I just finished installing (painstakingly fitting) those heavier tweed Saddleman truck type covers - in spite of insurance expiring in 6 days. I won't drive again until spring (or mid-March) - whichever comes first.
By that time I will have thoroughly pondered whether or not to have OEM style replacements done - est. over $1200. :realcrazy: Legendary repros. for my Swinger will be less than $900.

I bought a 1968 4 door coronet living in Oregon that had reupholstered front and rear seats. They were cloth front vinyl rear. I’m not sure who did them but they looked nice besides little flower in the middle. They were blue sorry no pics I can find.

Do you suppose a Coronet has similar sized seats to a Valiant?

Unlikely.

The width of a Coronet is almost 10” more than a Dart.

Do you have Coronet seats to swap over?

No. But in the two years I've been looking for upholstery for my poor ol Valiant, I've noticed the coronet upholstery is more common. So if the seats were the same size or close enough, I would just buy coronet upholstery and put it in the valiant..... at least... if it wasn't 10 inches wider. Oh well.
