If I were doing that I'd hold out for Fiero seats.

 

They have not made a Fiero since 1988 so the chances of finding one in a salvage yard these days is pretty slim so "holding out" will likely be waiting forever.

 

Hi all,
Planning on making a trip to the U-Pull-it yard to look for a bench seat for the F-150 and a pair of buckets for the 66 coupe. We're looking for a set of low profile bucket seats. What makes of cars have you gotten seats from that fit nice in your mustang. Tracks are not an issue, I fan fab up new ones to make them work. I think fox body seats may sit too high I was thinking of Honda or other small compact cars.
Thanks

I purchased & recovered 97 Vert seats to use in my 67 vert fit good,look good and ride great .

 

Wayne, they look like they could have come from the factory in that car. Very nice.

 

Thanks . Still searching around for some one to make the 97 rear cover work on my 67 rear seat .

I like my Fiero's... I've heard that some VW and BMW have Recaro's.....

 

I have found some Recaro's in some Explorers at pull a parts. I find them most times i don't have the tools i need to get them out .

 

I have Fieros in my car and love them. I did pick up a pair of Recaros out of a 79 Mustang pace car that I want to install.

 

I recently put Fiero seats in my Mustang. Finding good donor seats is getting near impossible though. The way the Fiero seats are constructed makes them tough to fix. You might look into Miata seats.

 

Back in the 80's I did the Foxbody seats. I only had to drill 1 hole in each track to make the 65 tracks fit the seats. Might be something similar with newer seats Only you can't use the power seats- too tall. You have to remove the power section so they sit flat on the floor.

 

Some nice modern Mustang seats with heating and cooling already installed, airbags disabled or removed is probably what I would go for unless you gotta have something that was never pooted in. You can always re-upholster them.

Seriously David? OMG, that never crossed my mind. I will never drive anyone else's car again! And now I have to reupholster those super low mileage black 93 GT seats I have.

My son is 6'1" 210 and I,m not much smaller. I'm afraid foxbody seats might be too tight of a fit.

I have Miata seats in my fastback and they are about the size we're looking for.

 

Look at late model Ford Escape seats.
Slim, good bolster support. I've seen them in black leather with a stitch pattern that kinda resembles 65 seats,

 

I'm a big fan of the vintage Recaro seats. Found in early Porsches, VW, and a few other models. They bolt right in with the correct adpaters.

I have 05-09 gt seats in mine. 10-14 might fit as well just not positive on those years

 

10-14 seats fit as well. Just more side bolstering than the 05-09 counterparts

The seat backs line up level with the belt line and the design fits the original quite well. Reclining seat backs and a headrest are a plus

I run a set on mine. They have side airbags so I tell people my old car has airbags

 

i have fireos and like a lot. The vintge recaros are nice. Can you find them.
