Modern seats

Here is a yard stick on the seat.

Thanks much! The factory buckets in my '63 are 24". Those old seats are wide. Installed a console out of a 70's Lincoln; a Granada with lipstick on it, lol. The leather console with light bar I thought looked decent; but is kind of narrow that did fit with the wide seats. Would like to have modern seats...I had headrests put in needing the protection (partial neck fusion) after hunting for some time for modern seats.

I am going to try and use these in my 71 Charger project

Seats out of a Chrysler 300.
Electric movement with heaters. The heaters on these need some sort of control module which I don't have so not hooked up

!!! I have a '67 as well. Did this take a lot of fabrication? Do you have pictures of what you did to fit these in? I'm thinking of ditching the short stock buckets for something like this.

So I got these seats in (not in the car, just in my hands). They are narrower than the stock seats by a fair bit but are pretty comfortable to sit in. They are about the same height as the stock seats however. I am not sure if I am going to use them in the 71 or not, I will have to mock them up. I really like the look of the stock buckets but I want more bolster which I know I can do with new foam and upholstery. Long story short here, the Procar seats are definitely a viable option especially if you do not have a set of the stock buckets or do not want to spend the money to reupholster them. They will compliment most interiors and at a glance look almost stock.

I went with Procar seats in mine.

I am going to mock up my PROCAR seats in the Charger when I get to that point, they definitely hug your body better than the factory ones.

Those look really good. Is there a cover for the hinge mechanism though? Looks a bit exposed.

There is. I think I just took the picture before installing it.

Toyota Cynos (2-door coupe) seats in my A100.

Getting an original set ready to replace them one day soon.....thanks to @Rat Rod Al
These things take time.

These are from a 2013 Chrysler 200 convertible. Modified for stock head rests and reupholstered.

I have used Audi TT seats in many of my cars, the bolsters have plastic that match the seat color on the outside, top and bottom, to keep the bolsters from flattening out over time. Non electric seats, but they are hydraulic and have three inch up and down travel and the headrests are removeable. I will say I like these better, they match the car better and the shoulder harness is pretty slick!! Well done!!!

Your seats are perfect in my opinion.

Thanks and those are very nice! I am an Audi fan myself.

Really want a B5 RS4 but of course they didn't bring the best over here.

I prefer the more rounded tops in my classic Mopars but those look pretty good.

I had 1 Audi, an A4 and learned my lesson.

Thanks.....but the one issue I find is that the seats need to be pushed back to shut the doors - the side cushions hit the arm rests on the doors.
Apart from that, they recline & slide, unlike originals, and are very comfortable.

They had problems getting so many sweet cars to pass the mustard to enter this country. I had a friend who went to Europe on vacation and wanted to bring back a Mercedes to save a few bucks. It sat in their gray area ready to be shipped after the, a and b posts were beefed up, all the glass had to be changed out, air bags, emissions and gauges changed out. How much did he save, it sat there for 6 months and cost a few more than it would have cost to buy it here. It was one available here already!!!! LOL

I wanted some seats that somewhat looked similar to stock but had bolsters to keep my butt planted. They are reasonably comfortable but are firm. I am looking at options for my 71 Charger currently, I think I am going to use factory seats but have the foam redone to add more bolsters on the bottom and top/sides.

Legendary Interiors makes foam and covers to add side bolsters and keep the original pattern.

Yeah I have seen that and am thinking about going that route, problem is that legendary is like 42 weeks out on about everything these days.

Are the Audi TT shoulder belts integral with the seat? I have been looking for Sebring convertible seats with integral shoulder belt. Thanks

what year TT? None of the seats I see on the used part registry look like that and I don't see an integrated seat belt.

Post them modern seat you've put in your ride.

We would love to see them!

I'm using a set of Toyota Solara power front buckets on my 68 RR build. They have moderate bolsters and the passenger goes forward when you put the seatback all the way up. I had mine upholstered in the white Pearl for my 68 RR project. They match the Legendary rear seat covers I found for the back as well as the front and rear door panels.
