      Bucket Seats - Good Donor Cars?

      Besides the 04-06 GTO, what are some great donor cars for bucket seats?



      Cloth, Leather, Vinyl... doesn't matter. Just need some ideas. Thanks!

      Tony I've heard 4th gen f-body seat bolt right into our a/g body cars using our seat tracks on the f-body seats.

      As a bit of incentive, the U-Pull-It yard in Morton, Il across the road from the St. Louis Dragstrip has them...$20 ea for manual and $30 ea for power. I spotted some there but haven't been back to get any yet. I live about 100 miles from STL but hit the UPI yards when I get a chance.

      +1 on the 4th gen seats, or if you want to spend big bucks, Acura TL seats are very nice.

      Im rather fond of the seats in my Dodge Neon. they are 95-99 Neon R/T seats. They are similar to the CRX seats posted

      Yes they do! I had a set of gray 4th-gen Camaro seats in my old Monte, bolted them right to the original G-body tracks with no issues. Here's a pic -

      i had a 97 expresso as my first car, yes the seats are very comfortable, but the crx seats has more 'hold' on me. i would personally prefer the 4th gen fbody seats as mentioned over the neon ones.

      I heard the F-body seats sit really low. Plus, my Malibu has a bench, so no mounts on the inside. I was looking at these on Ebay... they don't look too bad really.

      Tony, I have been looking for a decent set of leather LS1 era Trans Am seats. Or C5 Vette seats, but they are $$$.

      They are kinda low, but if you're tall, it's actually a blessing. I'm only 5'3", so they were a bit low for me as installed on the original track. I wound up buying a G-body power-seat track and then had the perfect setup for me.

      I still want some seats that kind of wrap around and have some support to hold me in place. If I could afford some GTO seats I would, but something similar will do the trick.
