Hello everyone,

Well I am new to the site and Mustangs as well. I am looking forward to learning the ins and outs of Mustangs and meeting new people. I have recently bought a 64 coupe that needs quite a bit of TLC. The interior is not horrible but the front seats are completely shot. The question I have is obviously about the seats. I have found a set of front bucket seats. The guy told me they came out of a 64 Mustang as well. He said that is why the passenger seat doesn't adjust. Never heard of a seat not adjusting. The upholstery is in really good condition. The only issue is that the thread used on one of the seams on the top of the seat has came lose allowing the material to seperate. The seats are solid, the foam inside seems to be really good, and the frames have little rust on them. So here is the thing, is $300 dollars an ok price for the set? I checked Ebay and saw some pretty trashed seats that were going for $200. I just want to make sure I am not totally getting taken.

Thanks for the help

Hi and Welcome! The front seats can be expensive. Not really sure what they are worth but your price sounds pretty good. I have a set of 67 front buckets in excellent shape ( Tan in color) that I am going to be selling, so it will be interesting to see what other people say and would be willing to pay.

Thanks sixtsixstang,

I appreciate the response. So you don't think $300 sounds too bad? I am very curious to see what other people have to chime in on the subject as well. I guess we both can only wait and see what the experts have to say.

I am trying to find seats for my 67 and they are pretty pricey, so I would say that is a good price. But that is just me.

I think its a little steep myself but it depends on what your looking for. I have a set out of my 68 fastback that do not have a tear in them. Yet, I took them to the ford swap meet in columbus last spring and did not get the first offer when I had $75 a piece on them.

Off course the covers have been replaced and are not orignal but they do look nice.

I replaced them with a set I bought that came out of an 89' convertible stang with the knee bolster for $175 including the back seat (which i have no use for)

Shot as in how? Are the frames bent? Or do they just need foam and upholstery? If you are looking at frames $300 is not a bad price for good frames. If you just need new foam and upholstery foam is about $50 a seat and new upholstery is only around $150.00 so it would be cheaper to get your seats redone with brand new upholstery and foam.

Mike,

In response to your question, yes, the frames are bent. Also several of the springs are rusted through or just about in two. This is why I am looking to get new seats. I don't have the materials or skills to fix the ones in the car as they are now.
