Found and bought an original pair of 67 camaro bucket seats for $400. I'd rate these at 90%. Need two new backs and some foam to make perfect. No tears, vinyl in excellent shape. Chrome knobs need replacing. Tracks work perfectly. These are rare to find in this condition. Roasted ones go for 650-850. Excellent ones 1,200-1500 sometimes more. These are going into the 72 Nova SS.

Couldn't find the correct seats for the Nova ?? Still looking. Now those seem to be more rare then what I found today. Couldn't pass up at that price. When the times comes and I find original 72 seats. I'll sell them to recoup some my cost. Headed to a couple big swap meets this year. Maybe get lucky. Sarge

He means no harm. Now if he was to find me set for my 72ss for under a $1,000 in decent shape. Then I would forgive him.

Vinke, working on a number matching 72 Nova SS car. I'm doing a resto-mod. Didn't come with air. So vintage air it will have. Plus all the chrome that came for that generation nova. Tilt column, etc. So, not 100% original. I don't have 80 to 100,000 and years for that to happen. Hope to complete in 3-5 years.

I have a 72 350 steel crank 4 bolt motor. Might still have the th350 short shaft.
I had tonnage at one time. Most don't realize the cost to keep it.
You might check Luttys for gm parts.

Yeah, A GPS should be utilized to mark where you see something because you may not find your way back to it, lol.

I pull the buckets out of every mini D50 pickup I find as long as the frames are good the material can be replaces easily, the frame and tracks are tough to find it sounds like you did good on your find.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
