I run the factory front bench in my Demon with the original blue plaid in my 72 Demon with a floor shifter (Hurst pistol grip 4 speed stick).

I like the bench seat for 2 reasons

1) is I love to be different and a black / blue rubber floor mated car (my car came with the floor mat and no carpet factory with a 4 speed) and the bench seat always grabs attention at shows.

2) I like when the Misses sit right next to me while driving. Cant do that with buckets.

I know auto on the floor is a tad bit different but not much.
