went to the bathroom, turned on my phone to do some reading and there's a pair of chevelle buckets listed for sale for $125. didn't even get off the pot, made a call and was out the door in a minute! its got custom red cloth upholstery that I'm going to dye black and maybe toss them in the 66, believe me, come summer, cloth is alot nicer than vynle. So deals are out there.jim

I did the same about 3 years back, perfect reupholstered '66 buckets...$350. Seller was on his phone non-stop while I was picking them up. Guys were bidding me up, but the seller was true. They're also red cloth inserts. I would never re-dye seats Jim, it would need to be color-fast, and you don't need to have the wife po'ed at you after her ars is blackened.

Happened to me. Didn't turn out well for me. Lots of money to buy new clothes (after I got my butt chewed out). Learned my lesson. New cloth or vinyl only..

Those are 20 year old prices there. Great deal. What year are they?

 

[Jim Mac]

all I can tell, 69 to 72, release in the middle. i see the headrest hardware under the upholstery. no release on top of the seats for the headrests. jim

 

[Jim Mac]

too bad both my cars have black interiors. but these are the buckets. looking under it, all the springs look great. They were in a 57 chevy, owner wanted a correct bench seat so he had no use for the buckets. jim

That's a great deal Jim and like said stay away from the dye LOL, I still kick myself for not buying a set of 69 GTO seats in super nice shape for $450 a few yrs. ago but already had the '12 Camaro seats, shoulda bought'em anyway

 

[Jim Mac]

funny thing, I have a guy picking up the early chevelle back seats this morning. he texted me asking if I had a set of later buckets for sale. I would probably regret selling it, but if he pulls out enough $$$ anything is negotiable. jim

 

[cheveslakr]

You're a plug and play type of guy which is smart. I'd sell these and keep an eye for a set that'll bolt in without dumping the wallet. Don't think of them as anything but a step in right direction.

 

[Jim Mac]

already have stock vynle bucket seats in the 66 and 70 chevelle. the only us side of these is the cloth. believe me, when its 112 degrees outdoors those plastic seats get a bit sweaty sitting on them. jim

Lucky you were first. There are a lot of folks on craigslist that must watch it by the minute.
I placed a free add for a diagnostic center yesterday and the email's came bombarding in within minutes of it being posted. There's a guy out there right now trying to get it stuffed into a Taurus.

 

[Dean]

Well believe it or not he got it all in that little Ford
(after I went out and loaned him a 11MM socket to take it apart)
He texted me and said "you just unknowingly just gave me my first birthday present, God bless"

 

[Jim Mac]

but did the guy call you from the bathroom? jim

but did the guy call you from the bathroom? jim

No, I never give out my phone number on craigslist.

Nice deal on the seats

 

[SSR71]

Helluva lot better deal than the seats I bought to put in my El. I paid $350 for them and the upholstery was completely shot. Shells and springs are good though... at least from what I remember. They've been in the attic for 10 years now! Someday they'll go in the car.
