79-82 C3 Seats: I would go late C3 seats all day long, FIRST, if you can find them like I did CHEAP!!!! They are great seats, very comfortable with big bolster and support, are easy to reskin (with material options) with vinyl, some leather, 100% leather (like mine below) AND they are C3 seats, not some other car....just saying....I personally would only look elsewhere if you have to......







Paid $200 for the seats and redid them myself for $700...all in $900 with like brand new C3 seats!

Funny, I sat in a guys 76 who had put washers under the front seat bolts so the seats leaned back even farther!

Just an FYI from BAT. Maybe these fit, maybe not, worth a look
