My '78 seats are really a pain in my a$$ and look pretty crappy as well. I think it's time for an upgrade. Other than the upgrading to after market or to later model Corvette seats, has anybody done any unique swaps? I saw where one member used Fiero seats which is a pretty cool swap Fiero Seat link . Anybody used late model seats from other cars (other than vettes) that worked out well? Please post your pics.

I think someone has some BMW seats in their car.

Bimmer seats? Who ???

I once saw a vette with Porsche 911 seats, those are DAMN nice seats and they offer a lot of support too. I'm probably going to install some kirkey seats.

I've always thought the fiero seats could be a good way to go. I wonder how they feel driving long distance.

The 80-81 seats in my 74 were shot! I had a local stitch up the tears. I got some good Sheepskin Seat Covers and spray glued them on. I have been very happy w/results. Warm in the winter and cool in the heat! Make sure you get the better quality sheepskins. The cheap ones will pull apart.

I thought Porsche seat where to tall for a C3? The ones Ive seen are about 1m top to bottom.

I'm going to use 87 chrysler conquest seats , they look just like recaro's and should be almost a bolt in job with my brackets and a fabbed adapter which is nothing more than flat plate of steel with drilled holes .

Saw these 87 Conquest seats on ebay. They do look pretty cool. The seat bottoms look a lot taller than stock though ? Maybe it's just the picture?

I assume from the number replys on this topic, that people either haven't tried many of these types of swaps. Or there is just not a whole lot of choices out there that work well?

Do you remember the Olds Cutlass's that used swivel buckets? That would be cool. Or how about all those 82-87 Mustangs that came with Recaros? I'll bet you'll find some at a local scrap yard.

Good Idea. Also seems like late model Z28 or Trans Am would work? I may just go to a salvage yard with a tape measure and see what they have that would work in a C-3?

My father put a set of leather seats out of a 99 Trans-Am in his 78. They looked pretty hot. They ended up being too tall for me, but they fit him perfectly.

How tall is your father??
