Keep your options open. You may be able to use a back seat as a source if you find one.

I have the same issue, '79 Capri with Chamois. I'm getting white from TMI and dying them.

niksevig119, I'd be surprised if a Master Upholsterer couldn't fashion-up something for you. The trick would be obtaining the original-style Leather that Ford used in '79. SMS might have something... https://smsautofabrics.com/

There should be an upholstery shop in your area that can find the right material and make new covers. It will cost more than an off the shelf set but would get you the correct material type.
They're going to look great!
