Default seat options

I'm trying to prioritize my to-do list on the '67. Both seats need re-skinning at the minimum and likely need a total rebuild with new foam. Before I end up spending a bunch of money to end up with 2 new looking seats that aren't exactly the pinnacle of comfort I was wondering if some newer, more comfortable seats might work better. I'm not a numbers-datecodes matching purist, the numbers on the car dont match now. I'll do modifications to the car but I'm not going to do anything that isn't reversible so I don't want to drill extra holes or butcher the dash for a radio or anything like that. Are there any newer, more comfortable seats I can bolt into a '67 coupe for less money than the cost of rebuilding the originals?
p.s. they need to be available in blue

I am waiting on these Procar Classic seats, I had to special order them in red. There are brackets made for the Corvette so there shouldn't be any modifications to the car.

They also come with headrests.

I installed C5 ZO6 seats in mine. I just had to cut down the front tracks about an inch or so. Even got power on the drivers side.

IMHO 90-92 Corvette seats are more comfortable then any C5 seat. Those seats have high side and back bolsters that really hold you in

it also depends on how big the person is too. I am 6' 4" 190#s and like C4 seats that wrap around you unlike C5+ seats. but the op should sit in some cars and find out what he likes

I just can't take the look of the C5 seats above the deck lid, find something without the backs so high. They just look out of place. IMO.
