    I've never figured out why so many new guys leave that blank when they sign up to be a member here .......:hmmm:............... you don't have to put your street address down, but at least a State or Province would be nice.

    :Welcome: from Northeast Pennsylvania

    I'm using 1972 Mustang Mach One bucket seats with new black upholstery from California Mustang. I know they won't bolt right in - hard to say if any seats other than what came in your car will. There will always be some fabrication but, realizing that, just about any seat will fit :tiphat:

    I doubt u'll find any seat that will bolt right in as wud a seat designed specifically for these vechicles. U will most likely have to do some modifications no matter how minor. I had a set of 90's Stang leather buckets in my car for a few months and had to do some minor mods to make them work. I removed them cuz I wud have need some LDO tracks to bring them closer to the floor, plus, they were grey and my interior is black.

    The only seat rails that "bolt right in", are '71-'74 Maverick. Any other seat rails would need to be modified, after which most corresponding seats would physically "fit" in the car.
