Default Seat fitment

Does anyone know if Saturn Sky seats will fit in my 1980 vette ? And if so any mods needed and how difficult?

Wasn’t able to find any dimensions for a Saturn Sky seat, but I did find this for a Pontiac Solstice, basically the same car.

Since the maximum width for seats in a C3 is 20-20 1/2 inches these look like they will fit width wise. I wasn’t able to find any information on their height, but they may be taller than the stock seat.

Here you can find a good thread about aftermarket seat fitment.

I was wondering this myself but it's been too rainy to measure anything on my car, this is what I found on the internet from an adapter bracket company.

I like the Sky seats. They look like they came out of a C5. BUt after looking up prices for used ones, they didn't seem like a bargain.
