Not getting ... wanting to PURCHASE. :)

Looking to buy original seats for restoration of my SAE CJ5. See pics for clarification.

Nothing like a timely response on my part ... Here's the same Jeep about a year later. 2" lift, roll bar pads, & bikini top ...

I did a forum search on the above title and found no threads on it. I obtained one in March and have been fixing it up ... It still needs a black top and seats with a specific black material but it's coming along. Does anyone else on here have one?
