If you were closer I would give you a set from a 67 New Yorker, but they need recovered too and are gold. hammer

I think the frames are the same as similar era B-body cars.The '65-6 Fury/VIP cars also seem to be popular with buckets (donor).

I'll bet it's less than $200 to send them via Fastenal on a pallet. IIRC the 66-8 C Body buckets are wider than the b-cars. Much more comfortable seat IMO. They are definitely different between B and C lines. The good news is that replacement foam is available.

I just sold a set of 65 Sport Fury Buckets, they would be perfect. I would suggest 65-66 Sport Fury buckets, very comfortable and not too hard to find.

Legendary has new 300 style skins for 66 and 68 Chrysler 300 buckets. Not sure what the difference would be on a 67 but if the cores are the same those seats of Jim's would be the ticket.

I can get pics today. The drivers side is power without headrest and the passenger side is non-power with a removable headrest and the back retracts all the way down, pretty interesting factory offering!

My 66 is set up like that. Passenger "hide-a rest" with recliner.

The driver's seat is power and looks the same as the passenger seat but the headrest is fixed.

I won't be that way until July for Carlisle, if you can wait that long and are going to the show.
