Restoration help 1965 Dynamic 88

Does any know if there's a seat cover kit to use. Someone told me i can use a kit for a 65 impala ? Also its has a 330 in it but shouldn't it have a 425.

Thanx

Check Out ( www.seatcoversunlimited.com). They have them listed in Velour both solid colors and two tone as well as many other material choices.Most of their reviews sound very good. Larry

It all depends on what you want. There are no factory pattern seat cover made for your car. You can get all kinds of generic non original style covers or have a shop sew the correct ones up from scratch.

Thats crazy, you should be able to have the front and rear seats redone for 1000 or less. Last ones I had done for a 66 Starfire maybe 10 years ago was about 650

Is that for Connolly leather?

Seriously, that price is insane. Find a different shop. SMS Interiors sells the correct pattern material. You will need a shop to sew the covers, however. If all you want is a cover that works, the Impala cover for the same seat style will fit, but the pattern will not be correct.

And yes, the only engine available in a 1965 Dynamic 88 was the 425. The Jetstar 88 came with the 330.
