1968 Front Seats

[robert campbell]

All,
I am thinking of an aftermarket or later model factory bucket seat of any kind to replace my front seats. I have 1969 High backs in our 1967 Fastback. They are nice, but I also want a reclining feature.

My brother-in-law got some aftermarket ones that I cannot remember the brand, but they sit to high. Also want to upholster the stock rear seat to match.

Anyone, got any experinece in this area?

I installed some Procar seats by Scat in my 68. I loved them. I took 2 trips to Grass Valley in that car. One with the regular Mustang seats and one with the Procar seats. It was night and day. The seats got a little torn in my accident, but I'm going to fix them up and re-use them. Another benefit to these seats is that they fit right in with my black upholstery. I didn't even change the rear seats.

Are new floor holes required?

No. You can get some adapters to use them with the stock tracks.

Joe, did you get the scat 1000 ellite? They look the best to me. Will they fit good if you have a rollbar?

To tell you the truth, I couldn't say which model they are. I bought them at a swapmeet in Long Beach and I don't even remember exactly what they look like.

Nate,

The Elite is the 1100 series.
http://www.procarbyscat.com/Products_Elite.asp

There is also a 1200 series that is the Elite seat with a lumbar adjustment.

If you want something that looks a little more like the '68 seats there is the Pro Series
http://www.procarbyscat.com/Products_Pro90.asp,
and the Lowback Series
http://www.procarbyscat.com/Products_Lowback.asp

Scat seems to be the name of the company that owns Procar because the web-site says, "Procar by Scat".

Rob, I also went to Summit web site They ship for free,seem to have the best price. Procar elite 1100 in vinyl, looks alot like our seats.

Rob,
I recommend you check out the 2005-06 Mustang bucket seats. The six way power bracket will not fit but the seat will and it matches almost exactly to the original look. I have the 05 buckets in my GT/CS both front and rear. The rears will take a bit of fabricating to make brackets that will allow the seat to fit. For the fronts I made interim brackets out of 1x2" steel tubing. No flex and they work perfectly allowing the front rear adjustment etc. If your interested I can get you the measurements for the front adapter bracket. Your on your own for the rears if you go that route.
Also you can get aftermarket covers in a variety of colors.

Bill,
You amaze me!! Do they recline? They look great!

Rob

 

[nates68]

Bill, where did you find the seats? Can you post the front adapter measurements.
I like the looks better than Procar.

Thanks, Nate

 

[robert campbell]

Bill,
Nate and I are waiting!! They look great!!

Rob

I'll look it up when I get home from work today and e-mail it to you guys.
Rob, yes they recline and they are very comfortable. I bought them on E-bay. If you keep an eye out they come up from time to time.
