Common question. Yes they will fit, but must be bolted to your existing seat tracks. C5 and C6 seats are a little taller, and you may hit your head on the top if going with either of those. Search the C3 archives for pictures and installation tips.

Default C4 seats in 73

I have a pair of 95 standard seats.I mounted them in my 73 but I did not like them because it made me set up to high.I'm 6'4" so that creates a problem for me.I drilled and notched the bottom to fit the stock seat tracks.The seats are tan, a little worn but no tearsand the foam is good.If you are interested P M me.Thanks,Charlie.
