    I have been searching through the achives to find some information on the original seats for my '70 Renegade I, but to no avail. Does anyone have a picture of the original seats that would go on that model? I don't have the trim code anymore but under several coats of paint, there is still some omaha orange visible, and if my sources are correct, that paint code should be #135.

    I need the pictures because I don't know if my seats are original (there might be some pictures on my link if you want to see), and I am going to get them recovered. I have been quoted a price of $160 for the front two seats and $100 for the back seat. I think from what I have seen that is a decent price.
    All I want is to give the guy a picture so that he can make them "appear" to be original. Thanks for your help.

    Renegade I's came in Purple or Green according to most sources that I've found. It seems like I've seen a reference to orange as well but I can't put my finger on it.

    Did you look at the seats that are pictured on the Renegade Page in the tech section?

    Yes, and thanks for the reply. Its really very confusing though because I have seen where there are so many styles and colors of seats. According to the pictures that I have seen though. I can almost garantee that mine are not original. Some people have said that their '70 came with rawhide color seats and many other things. I have seen though that more often than not, the seats matched the paint job. If that is going to be the case with mine then I am just going to go with a solid black seat because I don't plan on painting this Jeep orange in the future. Maybe someone else on here has an idea of what is supposed to be there... Thanks again.

    My '70 came with Burnt Bronze paint and black vinyl lowbacks, although they did not have as much stitching as Zoomer's photos.
