Who else has aftermarket seats in thier Mopar

[ACUDANUT]

 I have to admit, I hate the Factory Hot and Cheap seats that were made 40 years ago. Also, who likes the lack of comfort they had back then.

[A383Wing]

I'm running the stock seats in all my Mopars...the 66 Charger seats ain't all that bad....and our 70 seats in the Daytona are probably the most comfortable seats in anything we own

[Rolling_Thunder]

running different seats in my Charger -    my 69 Road Runner will be a true stripper with the factory bench seat.

[HPP]

Well, my Challenger has seats out of a Supra. My Stealth, well, it has Stealth seats.  Both styles are mucho more supportive for lateral accelleration.

[doctor4766]

My seats are from a 1971 Holden Monaro.
The car came with some late model Toyota seats up front and they just wouldn't do at all, so I picked up these locally and had them trimmed like Dodge seats.
I would have liked originals but trying to get some here in Oz was near on impossible at the time and freight ex-US would have been a killer.
I'll say they're one of the most comfortable seats I've ever had in any of my cars too.
And I went with the button delete option as well.

I have Acura rsx seats in mine....I love leather, lumbar and the fact they recline.....I have the originals to put back in if I choose to...plan on doing the rear seat to look like the fronts as soon as I get some money together.

Looks good, mpdlawdog.  I'm very interest in changing out (but keeping) the stock seats someday.  So I'd also love to see what else people are using.  Any more pics out there?

 Those look good. I could go on a long ride on those.

I changed my perfect condition black vinyl factory bench seat with a set of Scat/ProCar 1100 series w/ adjustable head rests & Black Leather w/their mounting brackets ($700ish total) I couldn't find any good 68 Sport Satellite or GTX buckets or I would have used them, I put the factory bench away for safe keeping, my car is a Resto-Rod/Pro-Touring type/style car...  I've had enough of the factory stock looking cars, Just wanted something different, more comfortable & to keep me in place a little better with some style... Car is still very much a work in progress...  I still want to put a console with my Quicksilver ratchet shifter in it, just can't bring myself to pay $1200+ for a 68 GTX console yet, most of the 1's I've seen were junk, I may just go the reproduction route, I'm going to alter it anyway...

Do those Procar seats have a tip-forward feature to access the back seat? 

I know they have a recline adjustment but that's not what I'm talking about.

[Cooperman]

I have Recaro seats in mine trimmed to match the rear. I had the same problem as Doctor4766 - picking up '69 seats in England would be expensive!

Yep

Yep you just pull up on the little lever on the side & the seat back goes all the way forward

[Musicman]

I always liked the look of the Procar Rally seat, anyone here using those?

[Budnicks]

Anyone using the Procar Rally seat?

I thought about them before I purchased the ProCar/Scat Elites, the Ralley's are taller at the seat area (were you butt goes) & have a vertical pattern, but they do look more vintage than the Elites... I think the Ralley's were originally designed for replacement seats for vintage late 50's-70's VW BUGS...

'90 Daytona Marc Cross, leather, power drivers, recline, manual thigh & lumbar support:

Really? I always looked at the "Pro 90" and the "Low Back" as being a VW design

I always thought of the "Rally" as your typical 60's-70's muscle car design... but then again, you never know 

I know I like the look of the Rally
The cost on the other hand  ... might be better off scourer'n the yards for a set of those new Chally seats

I like them too, I just "think" that was the original design intent, they were a VW Specialty Parts Company for many years...

Are these seats expensive?

Gotta have aftermarket seats, especially if you actually drive the car; definitely if you drive the car a little more reckless than most.

[1974dodgecharger]

myk,
where did you get those rear seats im assuming same car since they look identical to fronts.

[myk]

The body shop that worked on my car got the pattern; if those idiots can come up with that I'm certain that quality places would be able to match that effort or do even better for you if you're interested.  It looks good, but I hope it holds up.  I will say that it feels more substantial and thicker than the "reproduction" skins I got from the Paddock all those years ago.

Which reminds me-I never got those damn rear belts...

The stock seat was crap when it was new, but I can't replace them with an aftermarket seat.  I just love the look of them too much and to be honest, ever since I installed that console arm rest I'm able to stick in my seat a whole lot better!   

I still plan on adjusting the stock foam to get the best of both worlds though. 

[myk]

I'm pretty sure you can buy "retro looking" seats that most people would figure belong to the car anyway; I'm pretty sure ProCar/Scat makes a line of seats that are geared  more toward the OEM look.  http://procarbyscat.com/Seats

Without the headrest I have to mention that my new seats are almost identical to the stock ones in dimensions (height, width, etc).  I will say I don't like the mounting methods though; the brackets take up a lot of space and are painfully visible from the rear.   I know this would be a deal-breaker for most and it almost was for me...

I have installed aftermarket seats in customers' cars and we usually made a small mdf box to hide the brackets.  Cover the box in oem carpet and it looks stock.

There's always these:

[johnnycharger]

most of these aftermarket seats are black I personally would be interested in seeing some more in different colors of brown or tan.

[mpdlawdog]

I had leather seats out of an acura nsx in mine...very comfortable and looked cool too!  debating on putting them in my challenger.....

Fits on the factory brackets?  Geesh-I wish I woulda' talked to you a year ago...

hey MYK your seats look great   

[myk]

Thank you sir, but I can't wait to see how great YOUR car looks when it's done!

BTW, what front air dam are you running? 

[cdr]

thanx myk,that is a 68 oramac 

[myk]

thanx myk,that is a 68 oramac 

Is it any different than the '69?  I see that a lot of the other oramac air dam users are using the '69 dam...

[cdr]

i was told the 68 is longer IE depth. i dont know for sure.  it was 25.00

[myk]

i was told the 68 is longer IE depth. i dont know for sure.  it was 25.00

How did it mount up?  Like the '69, where you drill holes into the spoiler to match the Charger's body?

i drilled holes in the valance.
also what did you use for the seat tracs???

[myk]

They sell seat tracks/sliders for the seats so I put those in, but I would consider them a deal-breaker for most as they're quite obvious and stick out quite a bit; especially if you're sitting in the rear.  I'm sure a little customizing might enable someone to use the stock sliders for any aftermarket seat, but I was too lazy to look into that and just went with the store-sold sliders...

thanx MYK

On my seat track rails, I kept the ones that came with the seats (01 Grand Prix) and welded my own brackets to the floor.
