    Yee-ikes! Squirrels nesting in the front seat? Dog searching for a buried bone? Got to be an explanation.

    It can be simple damage over 15 years of driving; I don't think that's leather but leather can crack and key rings can damage a seat. On a related note, seeing this kind of condition shows why my grandfather used to put some kind of seat cover in his cars.

    Surely the seller can rotate that in his/her favor? All the pics are 90 degrees off.

    That is NOT leather ( been there, done that. use the t-shirt as a rag now, owned a 80 Colony with real leather....amongst other fords of the era with vinyl). the white stringy mesh what ever is vinyl. Ford did make a vinyl that when new would/could almost fool you, it was very durable yet once it got........ well the pics show it all.............


    Leather is torn. cut, etc, and that's it......does not leave man made fibers behind.....

    I looked at a '85 GM CP back in 2012 that was in better shape than this one....and it was $1,000. I still said 'no'......
