Can anyone tell me what seat should be on a 71 398 Lighting? I have seen most of them with black seats but I have also seen 2 of them with red seats.
Thanks,
Doug

I thought the 71 was black and they went to red for 72. My 72 has the red seat.

My 71 is black the 4 72's are red. I think that they kinda look funny with the red seats but I grew up with the 71 and never had ever seen a red one until a few years ago.

BTW do you know of any one that makes a replacement seat cover for them they look very simple to recover the base the back tank cover has that molded merc emblem that I'm sure is NLA....
