1971 Plymouth Valiant "Granny Smith"
11/4/25:
Had to get the ugly wheel covers off. Plus my brother wants body color steelies with dog dishes. Other side still has the full covers for now.
As you saw above, the original seats were awful and I wasn't about to spend over $1600 on just material (SMS Fabrics was the only company that has L3F7). Instead, I drove 3 hours to Salisbury to pickup a front bench seat and dash pad from a 73-74 Dart for $150 (along with a set of 10x2.5 backing plates for free from another buddy).
Meanwhile the following weekend I sent Dad to the Fall swap meet at Carlisle to pick up an almost matching rear seat for $50, and then he found some more goodies (using those 67-68 hubcaps instead).
And then my eBay find- a full (or close to full) set of correct green seat belts from a 1971 Dart sedan. Unfortunately almost every female buckle is missing the plastic.
