cheap upgrade seats for 68 firebird/camaro
I am looking for a cheap (cost effective) way to upgrade my seats in my 68 firebird convertible. The car is a basic driver so I am not really looking to spend much money on it. The driver side seat is broken as well so I would prefer to just unbolt the seats and replace them rather than try and have them recovered. Also I would like a headrest. Any ideas would be appreciated.

cheap upgrade seats for 68 firebird/camaro
There are a lot of aftermarket seats out there that would be cheap from a swap meet or junk yard, but you'd likely have to make brackets to fit the car.
Not sure what your budget is, but for around 1000 or less you can get a set or Scat Procar seats and brackets. They are some of the cheapest reclining seats available that look good.

I needed headroom in my '69. Lots of research led me to Fiero seats. Although these will not be 'cheap', they will be awesome and will sit extra low and will recline...all things that you will not easily find in an aftermarket seat.

I went 5th gen camaro seats, neat, not hard to install and plentiful, got fronts and backs for 500. Im sure you could find a similar deal if you search enough.

I agree with these, with one little exception. The 4th gen Firebird seats with the separate head rests are the way to go for F-bodies.

I would also think with so many of us upgrading our factory seats there has to be a few sets of OE seats if you just want to bolt in a replacement.

Another vote for 4th gen firebird/trans am seats. Very comfortable and not too hard to install. Mine are manual tracks but have power lumbar.
