I’m starting on my interior and looking for seat covers to replace my old torn ones(pics below). Having a hard time online finding this color and bench seat style seat covers to replace these old ones. There’s several bench seat styles online and I just want to make sure I get the correct one. 73 GTS formal Thanks in advance!

Not sure, but I think you have 74-up seats. (Adjustable headrests). ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind." Randy 1979 T-Bird 2005 F-150 STX RCSB 4.6, 3.55 LSD How the Heck does a REGULAR CAB SHORTBED weigh over 5200 pounds? |

hmmm... i don't recall seeing that light tan before??? kinda like it  if it's just the bottom part you cound compare it to samples at an upholstery shop and they could stitch up that pattern and just do the bottom if the rest is good ------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.

no thats a 73 sport bench for sure. I think that color tan is ginger and most of the replacement pre made seat kits are more basic colors like black, white, blue and maybe a dk brown.

I do see ginger as a color option with most online sites but wasn’t sure if ginger represented this tan/beige color. I’m putting in new carpet this week so I’m trying to find something while the seats are out. Might end up doing what Johnny said and go to a local upholstery shop. Thanks all for the advice/help. |

Ginger is darker than that. I've seen several 1973 Torinos with this color interior, perhaps Parchment may be the color.
