My first MoPar, a 75 Dart SE, had the most comfortable seas I ever sat it. Drove it from Chicago to San Diego, but that was back in 84 when I was much younger, who knows today how I would feel about them.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Does anyone else find Vintage Mopar seats the most uncomfortable ever made? After about an hour's driving my 69 GTX, I get a pain in my lower back. And that's also using an Obusform. Is there any relief? Are there more comfortable seats available to bolt in?

Make sure you find the ugliest late model seats you can find.
I don't really have a problem with them, the lack of adjustability stinks, because any seating position for a long time will get uncomfortable. That said, with infinite adjustments on my late model car seats I can't ever get as comfortable as I am behind the wheel of a 66/67 B body with buckets as far as wheel and pedal location. I feel like the pedals are in the wrong place in most new cars, although thats not directly related to the seats.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

My Charger has the original seats in it, though I did recover them with Legendary skins. They are better than the average seats that I have seen, but they are sorely lacking in lateral support. I like to turn corners more than drag race. I am seriously considering a change. Every time I crank it on an on-ramp, I have to put my left arm and knee against the door. Left turns are worse. I don't want to press against the console for fear of breaking it. I'm not a huge guy... Just 5 10" and 190, but these seats were probably never designed to hold a man in place during .90 G turns.
