Recaro Seats

Yea, Oldsnut Knows where it is though.


We'll get her back.


So greenie was crushed?

[DansGen1Alero]

everything I read was that it was crushed, and I thought red one too, but evidently not,

but back on the topic of the seats, if anyone has any insight, info blah blah, or has anyone purchased recaro seats????

Need to do something soon, 10 year old cracked leather looks like butt, and it smells like an ashtray in there, lol

One of the red ones was crushed, along with the green one. The existing red one was the show car.....who knows if the PCM calibration is up for regular driving duty (beyond being driven into and out of a transporter).

You should just get these Dan:



Good to see you back.

[DansGen1Alero]

thanks, good to be back, thanks for the suggestion, im just not fond of racing seats, my alero was never realy a "go" car it was always more show, and the semi luxury inside look i wanted to keep and with those "style" seats I would def be keeping that. the exterior tho is gonna start to get crazy planing on lambos, shaved doors, fiberglassing dash and painting woodgrain brakes then maybe revisit the suspension (air)

[Midgear]

why in the -hell- would they crush the green OSV alero? just straight up crushed it? sell the bitch for a rediculous amount of money! GAH! that pisses me off.. I didnt even know that

[DansGen1Alero]

theres actually another post about the green and red and the crushing and all

[IRONDOG442]

The OSV Recaros were believe it or not actually used as OEM seats in an Opel. Go to Recaro.com and look at the european seats offered and under Opel I think its the Tigra model you can see the exact seat used in the OSV cars I think you would need to put a custom leather bolster in the middle though as I am not sure they are 100% leather. Save money and find a Tigra LOL and buy it whole just for the seats.

Youll have better luck finding an Opel wrecked than the 3 OSV aleros they made not much but a little better! LOL

They crushed them to keep them out of the pubilc's eye.

God forbid people would want an Olds over a Saturn

[clutch1]

Ha, dealers are so dumb like that..

I see crushing prototype so people don't just buy that at a low price instead of the real production model (1 lost sale is 1 lost sale man), but things like the OSVs, ***The EV1 electric cars***, etc, that's just smashing shit for the hell of it or what?

I seriously don't get it, it's not like keeping it/ selling it to a museum would've put.. something??.. in jeopordy.

Business minds are wired weird sometimes it seems.

[Nate's Alero]

SO THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OSV's????? omg thats utter bullshit

[Oldsnut]

They crushed them because they could not be sold legally as car in general. Some concepts made it thru to the sale mode, some did not.

Many cars had aftermarket parts that would never pass EPA or NTSB standards and could not be sold. GM crushed the cars that could not meet these standards. Aftermarket parts were sold off and the rest was crushed.

GM gave approval for production of the OSV in November of 2000 and GM announced the closure of Olds in December of 2000.

[01OldsAleroGt]

well..... we should open up with GM to re-manufacture the parts they crushed on the OSV models... to broaden the spectrum... and it would bring in some money to the company.. make an outside company but still part of the GM ring... that produces/sells the aftermarket parts for em.. either that.. or hold em hostage and make em bring olds back from the dead !

[meadus101]

I think the OSV will be back personally.


2010. You wait.

[alerored04]
