I have a pair of bucket seats that came out of a 1969 Charger parts car a few years ago, but the seats are definitely not the correct seats from that car. I'm not even sure if they are Mopar seats, but they do remind me of some mid 60's C-Body seats. They are the type that does not have a locking lever to tilt the seat forward, so that suggests that they are older than the late 60's.

Can anyone help me figure out what they might be?

The driver's side seat is complete with all the mechanisms, tracks, exterior panels, & adjusting lever. The panels are all painted metal, & the adjusting lever is a chrome dicast part. I peeled off the aftermarket cover on this seat exposing what appears to be the original seat cover underneath. The passenger side seat is missing the rear, backrest panel & the dicast handle for the adjusting lever. I didn't pull the cover off this one. I can't find any logos anywhere, so I am not even sure if it's a Mopar seat.

Hello, I am pretty sure those are 66 GTO, Cutlass, Chevelle seats. They are fairly hard to find and when we have had them here they always sell in the 250-350 range.
Thanks, Steve.

1 year only GM bucket seats (1966). I believe the same seat frame was used in everything from RIVIERA, NOVA, 442, to GRAND PRIX.

Thanks for the quick replies, I appreciate it. I had a strong feeling they weren't Mopar, but I haven't owned a mid 60's C-Body in ages & wanted to be sure. Too bad I am missing the one rear panel, it would be great to have a complete set. I will ask a friend of mine restoring a '67 Impala if he needs, or wants them, if not I'll have to decide what to do with them. I have no need for them & I'm tired of tripping over them.

Great day for spring cleaning!

Three families on my street were happy to take all kinds of Little Tykes plastic play furniture, & my buddy is stopping by tomorrow to take a look at the seats to see if he wants them. It sounds like he will, so now I have more room.

Thanks agin for helping figure out what the seats were.
