WIW 73 SATELLITE 4 DOOR FRONT BENCH SEAT

WIW? From a 43K mile car. Always garaged. Plain bench seat, gold in color. No rips in the seat section, but a couple tears in the back rest. Buns are mint. Mint seat tracks. No head rests. Could possibly fit a station wagon? Thanks in advance, WINGNUT

$300-$500 sine it wont need recovering.

REALLY?


Incredible.

How much do you think its worth then? This is a WIW thread. Thanks, WINGNUT

Pricing to get seats recovered these days is up there. It's all proportional.

I'm just shocked when I see the prices given for parts I literally couldn't give away.

I had a blue bench with one split seam, that I couldn't sell. When I sold my wagon, I offered it to go with the wagon as that seat was pretty beat and got a 'hell no'........into the dumpster it went.

Go with migsBIG's pricing.

As an aside, the seat will fit wagons and may fit B's up to '78? I don't remember if the passenger floor pan is different on later B's for catalytic convertor clearance.

Good luck!

To clarify..

no rips in Seat Bottom
But couple tears in the seat back, facing forward where your back and shoulders rest. ?
Missing head rests ?

I think this is going to take a while to sell. Shipping is killer on that thing. The tears hurt and 4 door '72 and up people don't want to pay much for parts.

Great input by everyone, but I was looking for a value because of its great condition. It is not a blown apart rusty POS. It is in really nice shape for its age. WINGNUT

The value if it was, say, '68-'70 RR bench, or E-body/Charger buckets, is that '73 Satellites are well below those on the "food chain".
Folks that own them aren't sitting on a bigger-dollar car, so they're not as likely to spend up for parts.
Condition matters, of course, but IF there's someone out there who needs that seat, I'd bet they're not thinking $300 or so.
It's a pity - I hate seeing good stuff go to waste - but that's a fairly tough niche.
For that matter, I tried for a couple years to practically give high-back bucket seat foam away...here & CL - and finally, it hit the dump.

While I knew that when I bought my wagon, that point was REALLY driven home when I sold it. I heard; "If only it was a '71 or '72" w-a-y too many times.

make a shop or man cave "seat" out of it.

posting pics would help determining value.

The killer on that seat is it's for a 4 door, it won't work on a 2 door car. So probably not a huge demand for it, if you can get 200.00 take it and run!

Take multiple pics of the seat, offer to separate the cover and list the cover for $150-175.
Or put the seat near the road for when the Jehovah's come a knocking so they're comfortable

A 2 door car bench seat in great condition for a 70-72 B body might bring $200. Its a 4 door seat, and its past the "performance" era. If it was wore out its worth nothing unless someone really needed the seat frame. The right seat track is likely only for the 73+ floor pan.

Not many looking for a 4 door front seat without a matching rear seat. If I could get $100 out of it I would be happy to see it get used by someone.

Ron, you know me so well! Sign works, I haven't been bothered for the 20 years I put that sign up. WINGNUT

I will take all of the '70 2 door bench seats you have for $200.00. Those seats are very hard to find!
