The Upholstery shop ordered it from their supplier. I was lucky they had one in stock with the glass back window. I will ask, It is excellent quality.

That looks great!
What seats are in your car?

There is a better picture in Tech Interior/Trim I am trying to get that same question answered. I thought they were just the standard trim seats, but now I don't think they were offered in the convertible. I am hoping they put the wrong covers/skins on the original seats because the next task is to get them replaced

My 70 Challenger seats did not look like that.
Both mine were hard tops

This is what Mopar Plus says should be in my convertible, again I am hoping whoever did the resto put the wrong skins on the original seats

I would be willing to bet you have the right seats just the wrong skins.
You should be able to sell those other skins when you switch them out.

I placed my order with Mopar Plus today 3 to 4 weeks to my door.

Jeff,
The new white top looked great at the car show last weekend. Thanks for taking time to pull the boot cover and raise the roof. I agree that your vinyl seats are 1971 Barracuda seat covers. Your H6XW code seat pattern should look like the second picture below but in White. The seat foam is definitely different for the two different patterns. See last picture.
I hope to see you this Sunday for the car cruise.
