Those are good-looking seats. I wonder how wide (and tall) they are? The price is right and includes shipping.

Probably Chinese. You need to know if you can make them work with your sliders.

trust me, nobody on this forum including myself has gotten any of these crappy cheap seats to fit they are all way to wide. also the recline feature is usally just a **** that you turn not a lever, so its not only a hassle but you basically have to get out to recline the seat, Just stick to the ones that others have used and will work for sure...durango has celica seats that look nice and fit, maybe try those

To recline the seat in my 72 you have to get out, tilt the seat forward and screw in the 2 stop screws at the bottom of the seatback. A **** would be a step up.

They look good but I would want to sit in them & feel the leather-et before I purchased them. The pep-boys chain in my area sells a nice looking seat, I think its the same as summit racing. You may want to check them out too.

I bought a set of eBay for $129. They fit, I just have to make the mounting tabs and have them welded to the seat tracks. But more importantly, GOOD LORD are they more comfortable than the shtty design of the original seats.

eBay has a whole section dedicated to automotive seats. I just watched it for a couple months until I got the deal I wanted.
