For mopars, it's ok, I used their seat covers and they didn't fit nearly as tight as I would have liked. For a driver I'd use it.

Low price is long forgotten with poor quality.

With everything involved in these cars so expensive and the cars so valuable why would anyone consider a cheap interior?

Agreed. Legendary is as good as it gets.

I'm on the other side of this spectrum, I want better quality than Legendary!!!

To clarify it is the best we can get 45 + years later I've done at least 6 cars with it but I would pay for even better.

Agreed. We are dealers for both and Legendary is the higher quality. I purchased some Legendary for my own car, and they are coming apart at the seams after minimal use. Their quality could be better.

The material is the best we can get but not as durable as original covers.

Years back the rear upper seat material wouldn't lay correctly on my first 72 Satellite, I contacted them and they agreed the material was sewn wrong. They allowed me to send the seat to them on my dime and they redid it for free and returned to me on their dime. Glad it got fixed but cost me more for no fault of my own.

The seat covers I got a little over a year ago for my present 72 Satellite are stitched different on the upper rear of the front buckets. I noticed a couple months later when I was bringing them to the upholstery guy. I called them and sent pictures of the difference. The reply was yes we've seen that a couple of times but it's not the norm. They say the way my original seats are stitched on that upper back side is like a 73 seat. So I asked to send these back to get the right ones and they said that there would be a special order charge of another $200 because it's not the norm. Mind you my buddy has the same discrepancy on the upper seatback from them for his original 71 GTX seats he recently purchased too.
So how could I with my original 72 have 73 style stitch and my friend with his original 71 have 73 style stitch and it's such a rarity that they want to charge extra????

Why not put a note in their catalogs that there is two different styles to look out for?

They don't have all the correct headliners anymore and just want you to accept the GM pattern so I had to have one made by SMS which now looks correct but feels like totally different material than original.

A bunch of their seat foam isn't shaped as original so you need a good guy to correct that.

Even though my car is a driver I am very particular but for the money spent I expect no issues.

x2! I was not that impressed with the last Legendary seat covers we installed. They had better material 10 years ago from what I have seen.

So would a lot of us. Probably not the majority of us unfortunately.

I would gladly pay $1000 for a correct a correct 70 Challenger dash pad. Hell I'd pay $2000 for a correct one in burnt orange for my 70 Shaker Challenger.

As for interior don't fool yourself that the quality was that great from the factory. A former employee of mine was an Air Force pilot and bought a 70 RR 440 Six Pack 4 speed with bucket seats. The seats split in less than two years. I have a low mileage Hemi 70 GTX that had the inserts replaced - I'm guessing the same reason.

When you ordered your interior did you tell them you had a 72 but stitched in a 73 style? I'm guessing not because you didn't know. I'm guessing legendary didn't know either. Yes they could put a disclaimer in their catalog but maybe your configuration is a 10%er or a 1%er. Businesses have to charge more for one off stuff otherwise they lose money on the deal and then they are out business and we are all in the lurch.

Can Legendary improve? Absolutely and I hope they do.

Morty reread what I said, they said I have the rare occurrence interior and they said it is 73 style not me. My buddy ordered his within the time frame I didn't know mine was wrong for his 71 and got the common style from them also. How does his 71 have 73 style bucket seat uppers too???? Both of our car's had original seat material that we were replacing, his 71 has less than 30,000 miles and my 72 was a 100,000 mile car. Both have sold history too.
Since they told me they have seen this before what's wrong with putting the customer on attention in the catalog with the option to buy the correct style even at extra cost?
Is it a case of one size fits all like their GM style headliners or just not common enough to care about all their customers?

I agree. I did a black&silver 1970 RR bench in 2006, and another one in 2013, I still have both & they are not the same colors or material. Same trim code.

You get what you pay for. My customer thought he got a "great" deal on these covers for his 70 charger. I wouldn't even install the fronts

Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

My Buddy just got his seats back from the upholstery shop only to find out that Legendary had sent 2 drivers sides for a bench seat upper for a 70 RR and the stupid upholstery guy installed it, wish I had took a picture today. Of course the backs are off to install but when he put the backs on he should have noticed the pattern. LMAO
