I bought a 69 convertible, 383 4 speed. It has white interior. The person I bought it from said it had buckets in it when he bought it but it originally came with a bench. He pulled out the buckets and put a bench in ( but apparently bought an a-body seat)
Is there a way to know for sure what the car originally shipped with?
Also if it did come with a bench are the seat dimension the exact same for a and be body?
The bolt pattern is the same. Is it just different seat cover patterns? or do I need to find a b body bench?
Also look for blue pillar covers for the posts on the window, and the moldings in the back seat on each side.
 
Does it have a fender tag?? Build sheet? You could pull the carpet- bucket seat cars have braces welded to the floor where the mounting holes are by the trans tunnel.
 
Which fender?, the car is original except front seat and driver fender. I have a paper from the car in front of mine, but dont think I have mine

I bought it from my buddy, he would have pulled it if it was there, he only gave me the sheet from the can in front. They must have swithed seats or? in the factory, not sure why it was in my car

$20,000. Got body work and paint starting next week for $6500. Top will cost $900 and interior will be $1000. $28,500 and I will have a nice runner.
 
Nice. I love 69's.
Fender tag will on the front left inner fender well next to the battery. It will have some of the option codes. If your buddy took it off really should try and get it back on the car.
