My "new" seats!!
These arrived a week or so ago!!! After restoring the entire interior to original dark saddle, I think with my Orange/Black paint job...black interior is the way to go!!!
New C5 seats!!! Now to fabricate the mounts.

They look like new.
Buy some Zaino Z9 and Z10 for them. They're only ~$10 a bottle, enough for a few years worth of cleaning/conditioning, and leave the seats smelling like new leather!!

You're going to like those seats. Have the same ones and color in the 68. Power drivers and manual passenger and contrary to what has been said the power drivers side sits lower than the manual passenger side. Re-fabbed the existing C5 mounts to fit the 68's floor pan spacing.

63 mako got C5 seats too. Disassembled, all new foam, new custom leather covers. My interior is two tone but these would look good in yours.
