Do they tilt forward to allow for access to the rear seats?

as far as I remember ya they tilt front rear, unlike charger (another PITA that I hate, I usually like to put my seat down, more comfy when driving that way, although I have to sit pretty straight to see over high dashboard, (no wonder chinese hate US cars, they cant see over steering wheel)

They look as though they may be too wide to fit in a console car. If you do not have a console, they may work. Look downright comfy, too!

Silver R/T,

I would try to fabricate a bracket to make them work if they aren't too wide, they look nice. I found a set of brown leather seats from a Lebaron ragtop in a junk yard for $100 a while back. They are in great shape & the driver's seat is power. I tested the motor & actually have it sitting loose in my Charger right now with the console. I'll try to make a bracket & make it work, & if it doesn't, the stock seats will go back in. The rear seat won't fit, but I'm hoping to get an upholstery shop to use the cover & modify it to the original seat frame.

ya that sounds like idea, though theyre leather and I would take leather over vinyl any day, besides I could have them cheap from uncle vs price of new COVERS (only) then I have to mess with putting them on and my drivers side one foam is all messed up and smells too funny

I hate when people take the easy way out and put non stock parts in their car just because they don't want to restore the originals.

Don't "japaneseafy" your car. Get the original seats redone, it will look much better, and you won't be kicking yourself down the road.

If you want comfy japanese seats, just buy a japanese car. They don't belong in american muscle. Your swapping out seats is like someone taking out their 426 Hemi to put in a chevy 350 because its easier and cheaper.

I hate when people force their opinions down your throat.

If you have a chance at some decent seats, you like them, they are comfortable and you are not building a numbers matching trailer queen to compete in shows across the continent - go for it.  If you plan on driving and enjoying the car - go for it.

If I were not going for that 1969 factory look I would be buying a set of used seats from a 2005 Cadillac De Ville.

I rented one of these cars on my trip to CA a few weeks back and they were simply amazing.  The feature I liked best was the fact that they were air conditioned.  The leather was perforated and the seat was equiped with small "muffin" fans and I am going to assume seperate evaporators.  Three speeds to choose from and talk about comfortable.  This AC feature came in handy when I was in the central part of the state and the ambient was 102 degrees F.

I would agree with Chryco and Shakey, see some people understand my point
I might just do it if I could find cheap set.
why put disc brakes on your car if you want 'all original' why go with disc brakes?
Im into hot rods not stock rebuild/number matching crap, no offense but if youre into that more power to you. I like when car performs good and feels great on the road. those stock seats do not make me feel like im in control of the car esp if Im making turns and I do not find them comfortable at all.

I've driven your car. It feels out of control because your front end is shot and not aligned. Not because of the seats.

I have stock seats in all my Chargers and love them. I never feel uncomfortable in them.

Besides, its a freaking musclecar. You don't drive musclecars for comfort like you do driving granny's cadillac.

Just swapping in japanese seats because they are cheaper is extremely bad taste. I also say leave all that "hot rodding" stuff to the hot rodders with the '20's, '30's and '40's cars. What are you going to want to do next? Chop and channel the roof, shave the door handles, and then french the taillights??

I'd much rather see my wife wearing a nice evening dress (stock seats), even though she might be more comfortable in some cheap sweat pants (japanese seats).

I'll take form over function, thank you.

As for frenched taillights on a Charger.... :puke:

Don't waste your money. Sell the car to someone who will do it right and not the cheap and easy way.

Troy, I know what the topic is all about and realize Silver asked a question.   What bothers me is the tone and the choice of words that people use.   I have mentioned it before, it is not what you say it is how you say it!

Here is the way you should respond to a QUESTION like he asked.

I would not do it, but it is your car and your money.   IMHO after market seats are comfortable but do not look good.  If I am looking only for comfort then I would do it.  If I want a car that is very close to original, which I do, then I would not do it.  And I am not a numbers matching, at all costs person.

It is still your car and your money.  If you do not want opinions, whatever they may be, don't ask,

Silver R/T

Im not offended if someone thinks my decision is bad or whatever, as far as those seats they look better than stock seats in my opinion. At least Ill know I wont slide side to side when taking corners (and I do not have such fat ass that just sticks to stock seat like sticky pad) i guess most of you missed my previous reply when I compared stock seat vs aftermarket, did you see how many more better points aftermarket seat has? including head rests also. now about being cheap, i would say stock seats are cheap ass vinyl crap something that would be made in China. It DOESN'T even compare to leather quality.
Jon you do not have wife, so why would you think what your 'wife' would want to wear.
If I had wife id rather have her wear short dress than old grannie dress with lots of holes in it made to look like its something special (stock seat covers)

If you want a new car (and all the amenities) then drive one of those. If you don't like the original style then change it. I'd say that most (not all) people who own classic musclecars cars like to leave them as classics. Insulting them for leaving a car original is no better than having them question your judgement. Do whatever you like with it but be prepared for the good and bad reactions.

You completely missed Jon's comparison to a wfe.

So you're implying the car can decide for itself which seats it wants?? That's deep. But really, you're missing the analogy as well.

I agree with troy that most people leave their muscle cars as is and do not hot rod them or modify them too much. People like nostalgia, and me included. Putting new junk in an old car only lessens your car's nostalgic effect and coolness to boot. That's why with my cars I'll make modifications but they have to look like they are from the period (late '60's/early '70's). Anything else just looks cheap, out of place and poorly executed.

BBD

Silver, I think you missed BBD's point when he asked this question.  He's not asking if you can lean the seat back and drive like a pimp, he's asking if they'll tilt forward so someone can get in the back seat.  The Montero's a 4-door, so the seats probably don't tilt forward...no reason to.  I'd double check on that before you go any farther with it.  Also, check out the height of them...they look kinda tall (not to mention wide).  I personally think those seats look a little too big & bulky to look right in a Charger, even if they do fit.  Just my  :Twocents:

Ive already answered, they do tilt forward ...in one of my previous posts

I keep my seats stock because they pretty much only go to car shows, I do like the looks
of the stock 68 seats and have never had a sliding problem, But I will gladly admit they
are not the most comfortable seats in the world for sure.

FastbackJon

Stock '68 Charger seats can have headrests, like on my '68, but I've never used them. Not in my '74 Dart either, or in the '93 Jimmy with the high back seats. I never lean my head back and relax when driving, I like to be attentive at the wheel. The only thing they are good for is if you get rear ended and are in a whiplash situation.

But still it just doesn't make sense. You want super comfy seats, but also at the same time you want ones that will hold you firm in place like you are doing Dukes of Hazzard Stunts.

  :shruggy:

And for the record, who here has EVER had a problem with sliding around on their stock Charger bucket seats? NOT ME!

If you really don't want to slide around on your stock bucket seats, JUST WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!

Man, too much common sense there, I'm starting to sound like Troy.

I have, in my old '69 SE after using Armor-All on them.   :icon_smile_big:   I like the way the old seats look, but I also enjoy the comfort of a modern seat. Side bolsters, lumbar support, 6 & 8 way power, & if you really want to go all out, find some with heaters in them. If I were restoring the car to stock, it's a no brainer to use original seats. I'm after the same thing a lot of other people have done by putting in modern seats. I wouldn't just drill new holes & throw them in, I'd try to coordinate the entire interior so it looks like it belongs.

Yes, it'll be custom, but then I had a subscription to Street Rodder Magazine for years too. I love seeing things without squeezable factory hose clamps.

Yeah, I've heard stories about guys armoralling their seats and sliding around. I'll agree fully that aftermarket seats arn't all that bad if you do coordinate the entire interior so they look like they belong there. But that costs a ton of money and then goes Silver's main reason for putting the aftermarket seats in the first place. I'm just afraid he'll just get them, dye them black, drill some holes, and bolt them down to the floor, and I know it will look terrible.

RECHRGD has some '70 or '71 high back seats in his '68 Charger with a stock interior (B&M shifter excluded) and they don't look out too of place. I think most people don't even notice they arn't stock.

So where are you going to get all this money to restore your Charger to perfection, and to buy a '70 Challenger, '67 440 Charger, '63/'64 Impala SS, and '70 'Cuda to restore like you've told me so many times you are going to get, when you have no job??

i will never understand why people ask questions like this.  ( and in this case get pissed when someone has a different point of view)  What color should i paint my car?  what size engine is better?  blah blah blah.
its your car, do to it as you see fit.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

look 'buddy' I dont want no 67 440 ok? you can have that rusted out turd, and Ive said I wouldnt mind 70 challenger OR cuda also like 63 impala yes,
now if im gonna be like an ass like yourself where is your fuc99en mad max replica did you buy it yet? oh how about that 70 kowalski replica, oh did you collect all the 66/67 chargers in your garage like you told me you want to?

:blahblah:

Wow what a change. We should call you "Mr. ReversoDeOpiniono". You tell me you have cash in your hand and just need to find a tow truck to tow the '67 440 Charger home from Texas. You brag to me about how cool it is going to be, and what color you are going to paint it, what wheels, the hood scoop. And also you constantly send me ebay links to challengers, telling me you have one almost bought and you want me to go with you to California tow it back.

Yeah I'd love to have an interceptor, but I don't go around telling people that I have one that I'm getting ready to bring home when in reality I don't have the money.

Ohhh.... REALITY CHECK!

I like when car performs good and feels great on the road. those stock seats do not make me feel like im in control of the car esp if Im making turns and I do not find them comfortable at all.

Besides, its a freaking musclecar. You don't drive musclecars for comfort like you do driving granny's cadillac.



      i drive my 68 satellite every day because........   cars were designed around men back then. im just to tall for most modern cars.    i dont have to reach for the steering wheel and im just very comfortable in it.          i personally love the 70 up high back seats like i have in my roadrunner. i find them very comfy.    i also like some degree of a stock style interior   ( i may at some point put 70 up highbacks in my 68 if i can get over the fact that the dont belong in there)

     on the flip side i have no problem at all with using scarebird brake adapters and hanging chevy calipers on my satellite.   

      i also think that the world would be a pretty boring place if everyone did things the same way.       one thing i would caution you on, if you do this swap keep your stock seats. you may want them back at some point.    its your car do to it what ever you like.
