Default FS: Sparco R700 / R700A Seats with sliders

I have decided to switch out the seats in my car, so I am selling my Sparcos. I purchased a used pair of these seats earlier this year, and due to some shipping issues, I ended up with 3 of them, 2 of which are new. They have been fitted and installed in my car, and ridden in during my 2 drives to date, but are otherwise new seats. I'm selling simply because I'm a little too big for them, and I've found a seat that fits me a bit better.

The R700 / R700A is the upper end of the reclining Sparco line, with just the leather version above it. It features adjustable lumbar support, adjustable thigh support, a reclining back, tilt-forward mechanism, and harness slots. I also have 2 of the Sparco sliders mounted to the bottoms of the seats. You can see more information at Sparco site below:

Sparco R700A

If whomever buys the seats happens to be using them in a second gen F-body, I also have a set of custom mounts which were built to locate them as low to the floor as possible which I can include in the sale.

These seats are a bit of a pain to ship, but I've discovered that you can remove 4 bolts and separate the back from the bottom. You can then put them in a smaller box and pack them much more efficiently (and safely). So that is my plan regarding shipping of them.

Sparco's price on these seats new is $1699 + $100 for the slider, so a pair is going to run $3600 or so. My price for the 2 'new' seats with sliders is $2400 + shipping. For the third seat which I have that does not have the slider, I can offer than one for $1000 + shipping. It's in excellent condition with one of the plastic pieces a bit scuffed up on the side (if it bothers you, it's a $10 part to replace), just not 'new'.

I'll post some pictures below. Note that the flash makes the Alcantara material look blotchy, but it's not in person. The first pictures are from Sparco's site, the rest of my actual seats. PM or email me if you have any questions. I'm going to give the forums a couple of days, then probably list them on eBay for more coverage.

Opportunity may only strike once Rick. I've seen the seats and they were pristine. New at a used price. With custom slider brackets. You need to contact Brian. (Just not about BBQ)

I know I know, it's I just need to have the car here so I can put together my plan for it. Until I have it home I'm not sure where I'm going to start?

Hey, they sat in my apartment for 4 months after I bought them before they even went to the shop, where they then lived in big black garbage bags during the mockup...

Thanx for the props, Rob, even if it included a little

TTT. I sold the pair of seats with sliders, but still have the single seat for sale. Any interest?

Bump... My flaky potential buyer appears to have bailed, so the single seat is still available. I've also proven that I can ship one as well.

Awesome seller guys! The pair I received were near flawless and perfectly packed. Communication was great and everything showed up on time.

Appreciate the feedback! I wanted to make darn sure those got there in good shape. I hope you enjoy them!

I still have the single seat up for sale... I've moved now, so it's come with me and sitting in my extra bedroom just waiting for a new home...
