Does anyone know if the rear seat from a 69 Barracuda convertible will fit in a 68 Dart convertible?

I have never tried it, but I believe they are the same. You do know that the rear side panels are different between the two due to the quarter panel diffences. Of course the wheelbase is 3 inches shorter too, but the seat sure look the same.


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I didn't know about the side panels being different but I am trying to find a nice set of Dart convertible side panels though. I just wanted to know if I could use a Barracuda seat in my Dart before I commit to buying it.

The Dart and Barracuda side panels are very similar and interchange. But to be correct, the dart top edge is flat from front to back on the top edge, where the Barracuda flairs up at the rear edge to follow the Barracuda quarter panels.
