I agree. This is my second car with those seats (I also had a set in a '71 Nova I once owned). They don't look out of place and are VERY comfortable. Well worth the money. Plus, it made it easier for me to fit in the car (6'7"). I love 'em. </font>[/QUOTE]TYhink you guys have found my seats for me. I was going to recover the SS stockers but I want some support in the turns since I am leaning toward the pro-touring side. These look nice and even have pleats so they wont look bad with the stocker covered rear seat. Nice.
Right on.
I had looked at recovering some originals. But when I took into acount the cost of getting some beat up originals, getting the material to re-cover them, and then paying someone or doing it myself, it wasn't worth it to me.
I bet you could find some late model seats that might work. Maybe in a boneyard. That could be worth a try. My brother has done that and found some nice seats.
Good luck.
Those Procar seats look cool! That's something I'll definitely look at when it's time for the bench to go. Still need the bench though, much more convenient when you have a 4-year old climbing around in the car. I have learned that most center consoles are quite fragile.

If you want something with a stock appearance, you could look at 2:nd gen. Camaro. Had a -71 once, the seats were very comfortable and had descent side support. Only thing I didn't like was that they didn't recline, but it seemed like they got the perfect angle for me anyway. You should be able to find them cheap, and new covers are easy to find.

You like Apples? Becuase if you do, you'll like the search function even better.

I bought some Lexus seats off a major junk yard company that posts all kinds of bucket seats on E-bay.
I don't have them installed yet, but they look pretty good.

Be sure that you do not purchase seats from a 4-door car. It's likely that they do not "flip forward" for rear seat entry. I almost made this mistake on some awesome fully electronic seats.
As such, it's usually the 2-door cars that make better donors. But the newer two door cars have more narrow seats leaving a good deal of side gaps for the center consol.
These seats are also made by Scat and are sold by Jegs and Summit. Decent quality and will fit us bigger fellas. I think I'm going to buy a pair.

I was modifing Ford Thunderbird SC seats to fit but all the electric motor stuff takes up too much room (8 way power seat, power bolsters too) and even with them all the way down I only have about 2" of room between the headliner and my head and I'm only 5'11". Too bad, these seats are VERY comfy and supportive.
