New Seats for the 67!!!

jay'szo6 · 12-11-2007, 09:53 PM

Here are some pics of my new seats for my 67 Camaro. The fronts are out of a 97 30th Annivsary Z28, that I had redone in black leather(yes real leather), with perforated inserts, and red stitching. For the back seat, I had the 67 back seat redone to match the 4th Gen seat pattern. Now I just have to put in the new headliner, cut pile carpet(as opposed to the loop style carpet that would be in it originaly), and some other lol odds and ends. I can't wait til after the holidays to start back on it. It should look pretty

Very nice work! Are you getting the door panels redone in leather or vinyl to match? That would complete the look.

I had a 1987 IROC-Z that I installed '95 Trans Am seats in, and had the door panels, and rear seat redone to match (grey leather). It looked great when it was done, and was a huge improvement over the faded, worn out cloth interior the car had when I bought it.

Oh yes, definitely gotta do the door panels too.

Nice!

I really want to put modern racing seats in my '69, but the stock seats in it are so mint I can't see the point in spending the $$$ on it when there is other stuff it needs...

Ya I know what you mean. The seats I had before were the stock buckets redone, but not in the original seat pattern. So I sold them to my neighbor's friends wife(gift for her husband who has a 67 also), and used the funds to finish the 97 seats. So in the end it cost me a couple hundred for the front seats after having them recovered.

Same here brother.

It would be nice to keep the same seat style and configuration just in leather though.
