Replacing 1965 seats

I want to put some high back more comfortable seats in my 65 vette. The backs need to til forward so racing seats are out. Red and leather also. Any suggestions of a vendor? Thanks

An acquaintance was looking for seats to put in his Jeep a few years ago. I sent him to SCAT and he was thrilled with what he got from them.

I know you're new to the forum, so welcome. Do a search on c2 seats or something similar and you will find tons of info as well as good photos. This subject comes frequently so there are several good threads.

The "Rally" seats have a really high side bolster. If you have the stock steering wheel, and sit forward at all it will be a squeeze getting in and out. A buddy had these on his 1970 1/2 Z28 Camaro and they were great, but a little hard to get in and out of the car with. The Corvette is lower, and might be even harder.

I have their "Elite" withg Lumbar seats in my 1967 Chevelle and love them. It's been 20 years, and the foam has deteriorated and I will be replacing the seats with the same seat. Affordable and really comfortable.
