      Seat Roll Call

      I'm starting to look for seats for the '65 Barracuda. THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS! I'd love to get ideas on what's good, and what to stay away from based on your experience. Please post a picture of your seat(s), and tell me what you like/dislike about them.

      John, comes down to budget and style
      No budget then Recaros,
      Limited budget look at Corbeaus
      Very limited budget either grab yourself some older gen BMW seats or a new pair of Cipher

      Cheers

      I have Corbeau A4 wide in suede. I like them overall, for the price. I have shaved base and lumbar on the driver side as well. Shaved base DOES affect the way the seat feels, even though Corbeau says it doesn't.

      Not the cheapest alternative, but I picked up a set of BMW convertible seats destined for use in the '67 El Camino. Integrated seat belts and infinite adjustability were the draw for me.

      Those are the ones I put in my car. I have a 65 Skylark and I had room to spare. I love them.

      I used seats out of a 2014 Mustang GT. Fit was really nice and hooking up the power was just a Positive and a ground, and everything worked.

      here's a link to pics of them..

      In my quick search, Recaro's are certainly the most expensive. I hadn't even thought of using seats from a bone yard, but that looks like a great idea.
