"reasonable" depends on what quality you want, how much money you have in the bank, whether you want to install one of the vendors kits yourself or have a shop make one from whole cloth, whether all you need is the cover or need bare springs re-padded, how many shops are in your area and how hungry they are ... maybe 150-500

Just got the seat for my 59 back from the upholstery shop. 500.00. Two tone with all new foam, (which is expensive). They did a little spring work and covered the back also and done a nice job. I'm pleased with it. Do a little shopping around, another shop wanted 650.00 and foam was extra.

I did my shopping around. It does depend a little bit on how much work may need done to the seat in addition to the new cover. You can also choose between different materials. I was quoted around $300 for vinyl, $500 for cloth. I wanted leather and needed some spring work and replaced all the foam. It was "a bit more" than just new covers, but I was very happy with my new seat.
