Worth taking to Carlisle?

[polarus]

A friend of mine will be vending at Carlisle this year and he asked me if I had anything I wanted to sell. I'm not sure if this front lower bench seat frame is worth sending, it's from a 72 Polara Police car so it has the extra springs. Anybody know what this is worth? I haven't seen any others for sale. Some surface rust but no broken springs

there were HD seats in cop rigs. most frames survive while upholstery does not. did not know available as HD power seat

never transacted for cop seats, so no idea of market for them. i presume there would be one though.

I'd try to advertise it for delivery to Carlisle beforehand. I think you'll reach a wider audience and have a better chance of selling it.

i'd add a suggestion to post/have part number of seats (if available - i think there's a tag on them) to confirm year/model if asked.

I guess I could post it with an make offer, I'm trying to find out if the upper frame is also different as I have both pieces. I'll have to check with my friend as well to see how much spare room he has, I don't want to take advantage.

I didn't see one but I'll look again, I removed this seat from a 72 K code (Police) Polara but I agree a part number would be helpful.

your word should be good enough for sure.

i just recalled a metal tag on a seat spring in one of my formals we reupholstered. i could be wrong for fusies.

I don't think an unrestored unupholstered bench seat is worth a lot of money. I'd ask $100 and see if anyone takes it.

Extra springs in a cop seat and doughnuts go hand in hand.
