Found some seats.

I was looking for a set of seats for my 65 A-100 and came across these. After pricing seat covers and having the original seats repaired I decided to go with after market seats from streetsideauto.com. The new seats came to 330.00 shipped. Thought I would share if anybody else is looking.

Wow those are real nice man....!

Good price and are pretty close to stock, I'm going with honda buckets so I can recline and not have the top of the seat hit me below the shoulder blades.

I thought about going with high backs but I liked the kind of stock look. Plus these seats did not require any modifications. All the hardware from my old seats bolted right on.

Thats cheap!!! Very Nice

they look good but are they comfortable? they seem to be a bite larger then the stock one, is it ?

Very nice!!!!!

Nice = whats the exact part # these seats are in the site?? Thanx

Those are the ones! They are more comfortable than the originals. Of course the originals are in very bad shape.

Great looking seats - and they do look so close to the original style.

One added thing about the seats. The website said they are a direct fit but they are not. I will take some pictures of the adapter brackets I made and post them on this thread.

What do they look like underneath, was it an easy mod....?

any pics yet???

Great looking seat but for those of us on a budget the best bet is pull a part type yards, most seats are about $30. a piece. The seats I am looking at are Chrysler Intrepid they are going to be a close fit and I know the brackets are going to need to be reworked but they are leather and super nice and electric, I really like the headrest and are very simular to the wife Chrysler 300m seats other then they may not be heated seats - wow that would be nice in winter time. So if the rain lets up i'm headed to the junkyard tommorrow with wrench in hand.

I just looked and these are on sale for $130 with free shipping!!

looks great and a great price too. That color is very similar to what I am using in my 61 Econo. I have Fiero seats and I am adding heaters to them

Rustyspoke66....Don't know how long it's been since you last visited the V.V site....but I gotta say I really appreciate you sharing that new seat thread man....

Just a followup that these are the same seats (in black) and I installed them today in my '68 A100. A slight modification with some 1/4" square bar but all in all it was a 30 minute affair.

I can post photos of them if anyone is interested.

I would love to see some pictures. My brain hurts from all this reading.

Sintax,I'm interested in seeing what I need to do to make them fit...I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I had planned on taking some photos today but it has been raining. It is supposed to clear up tomorrow so I'll be sure to take a few shots and post them up here.

Well, without further ado...
