Default seats for a 79

What other options do I have for seats in my 79. The pace car seats strike me too high on my back and are uncomfortable for long drives. Are there any nice seats that will bolt right in and function properly.

Groovyjay has some very nice black leather Sparco Milano seats installed in his black '79 :cool:

Take a look at some of the pics:

Having tested sitting in them I can attest that they are very comfortable :thumbs:

If I recall correctly Jay said that installation was a bolt-on with the seat mounts from Sparco.

Not cheap though... Direct link to Sparco's site: http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_street.asp?id=96

Arto :cheers:

You havy many different options, you can use C4, C5 seats or if you've seen nice seats in other car than a vette, they might work. I know many Japanese cars have Recaro or Sparco seats in them. Try also Carbeau A4s.

Milano 2
product number: 00944
price: $899
This is a stoopid question, but I assume that's the price for ONE seat?
