My bucket seats are in bad shape and need to be replaced. The new seats available on line don't have the upholstery style/color I want and I don't want to pay that much for a seat and then have it reupholstered. I have been looking in my local wrecking yards and have found several canidates but am not sure if they will work. I can figure out whether or not the brackets can be modified but am not sure about the height of the seat after its mounted. Has anyone used seats from a wrecking yard and had them fit? If so, what car did you get them out of? Thanks for your help.


I like the looks of the BMW Recaro style seats. Look them up on ebay. Just type in BMW seats. You can get them in leather and plenty of other options, a lot of times very reasonable. They offer a lot better seating comfort and style than the original 67 buckets in my Coronet. I even bought a set of blue leather ones for my suburbans worn out cloth seats and the color matched the interior perfectly, they look new and only $100.
