I bought these from a guy with a rikity old 68, and they came outa that car, but I am not sure if they are orig or not. I was going to use them for my 69, and have them recovered with the appropriate uphostry, but decided that I like my bench just fine. I bought the bench to bucket conversion peices, and they are bolted on. Any ideas on what they are, or how much they should sell for? Maybe these links will work. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

Any ideas on how much to ask for them. I am not trying to get rich, just not ripped off

I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of $100, maybe a little more since they are complete with headrests.

I think the going rate is $100-$200. That is for seats where there is no question that the will have to be recovered. I bought a set for $150. The covers were in much better shape but still to the point where they needed to be replaced. The point is that unless they are almost perfect, their real value is in the frame and springs.

Good luck.

Look like 72 Cutlass seats...they'll obviously interchange with any 68-72 A body.. those look like they have to be totally disassembled and have everything replaced..no more than $75 IMO,and that's if the headrests are decent.It's amazing what you find condition wise when you take apart a 30 year or so old seat apart..

The headrests are white, and have been painted black. haha Yeah these things had 40 lbs of Duct Tape on on and around them. If anyone here wants them they can have em for cheap. It would save me the hassle of sticking them on ebay and paying those money hungry guys.

Definately not Oldsmobile. The stitching on the covers doesn't look familiar. Buick possibly.
Also in picture 4 the bucket seat floor mount is backwards the step up should be in the front. With the stud offset to align with the outboard slot in the seat mount "foot"
