Any ideas on who else makes bench seat covers for Mopars besides Legendary. I just bought a 69 Satelite B3 car that has been garaged kept its whole life. A friend of mine bought it and shipped it here from California back in July. The seats are 2 tone blue, outside is vinyl with blue cloth inserts. I have found a couple of people that can make the cover but can't get the right cloth for the inserts. Legendary was offering a cover on Ebay in a different color for around $300 so I contacted them and they want $563 just for the front cover. They said they were using NOS material is why it is so expensive. That seems kinda crazy to me, the inserts are not very big surely they are paying $350 more for that little bit of material. My other option is to have a local shop make new vinyl covers for the front and back and still be cheaper then the $563 quoted. Any ideas who else would be able to get the right material. I had Dante check and Legendary told him the same thing.

Dante has a connection to another place that makes covers but your problem is the fabric , NOS seems to be all you will find for it so unless you get LUCY and find some somewhere you are stuck. take a piece to an upholstery shop and see if they can match it ?

Original Auto Interiors and SMS both have NOS material. They may have the Satellite cloth. Original had NOS covers for my '64 Savoy wagon, talk about odd stuff.

Be very carful when buying NOS material from SMS. The last two times I bought NOS material from them, I was told it was NOS, but actually was not. Turned out to be material that was made by them, to appear as NOS, and then they charge NOS prices. I'm not saying don't buy anything from SMS, just be carful.

Good to know. How did you figure out it was not NOS material ?
