wallaby Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 These seats I got from the local "pull it yourself" wrecking yard. They are from a Dodge Neon. The price was right; just $20ea. Not a direct bolt-in, and if combing the wrecking yards remember to get seats from a 2-door car. These were from a 4-door, and I had to modify them to tilt forward for rear seat access. The center console is of my own making. It's mainly just an enclosure for my subwoofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 These seats came out of a 2010 Challenger. A friend’s son has one and I thought they were great seats, very comfortable. I scored the front and rears for 700. They are like new. Leather and heated to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72Ragtop Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I still can't post fotos...see the 72 yellow convertible in gallery. Seats are from 93 Firebird. Good thigh support & Recline. I did minor reshaping of the headrests. They almost look "Period correct". Powered units available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsmc Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 http://www.firstgenmc.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=359&title=im000302&cat=500 these are my seats ... front and back out of 2004 monte carlo some work and modifications were done to the rear seat back and bottom. if you are just doing the front,its easy. i just used 1/8 inch mild steel to adapt the 6 way power tracks to the stock hole locations. i think they look good and i know they are comfy. i had a factory bucket seat car and they are not comfy on long rides.

502ci Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I know this thread was started over 4 months ago but I will add what I have in my car to the list so far. They are Procar Rally Series 1000 seats from Summit Racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Bill I came close to getting those seats but during my research I read several posts that say they are small and some of the bigger guys felt cramped in them. Since I didn't know of any one with them, I went with the Challenger seats since I had sat in them before. Your seats do look good. Almost like they were always there from the factory.

502ci Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Bill I came close to getting those seats but during my research I read several posts that they are small and some of the bigger guys felt cramped in them. You are correct, they are tight on the hips with those side bolsters. It took several years for the drivers seat to widen up a bit, I kinda forgot about it seeing how it fits me now...passenger seat never was as tight as the drivers though. They are great seats for racing...you feel secure in them. Probably really great on a rally course as you will not slide around at all in them.

Hoodicoff1 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 _DSC0068 by Hoodicoff, on Flickr These seats are out of a Thunderbird, as soon as I get the strato bench seat redone, these seats will be gone. They are super comfy but don't match anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestTNMonte Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Jeff, what did you have to do when you mounted the 2000 Monte Carlo seats. I have a set from a 06 that I want to install in my 72 when I get to the interior. Thanks, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droff Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 front and back out of 2004 monte carlo How hard was the '04 console install? I don't have a console now but want to go from a column shifter to one on the floor and from appearance, that doesn't look too bad. Thanks.

71monty Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The way the seats were mounted in the 2000 Monte were bolted down in the rear and kinda hooked in the front. I shaved some off to lower the seats and make them easier to bolt down. Shaved I'm 6'3 and I needed all the space I could get. I drilled holes as close as possible to the original bench holes. The rear holes are less than an inch from the originals. The bottom side will get some steel reinforcement just to makeit more secure. The way the seats are positioned I think I will be able to use the stock seat belts with a little modification. This is the front bolt.
