**brandonh** · 03-25-2008, 02:25 AM

just bought a set of buddy bucket seats not in the best of shape but not bad, the guy delivered them 45 minutes. there going in my 67 cst, paid $150 bucks for them i thought that was a heck of a deal and i think the guy thinks he ripped me off

tcb-1 · 03-25-2008, 02:37 AM

you got the better end of that deal!!

sierragrande71 · 03-25-2008, 02:53 AM

You made out like a bandit! Good score!

Huck · 03-25-2008, 02:58 AM

You did get ripped off. Want to make $100. profit?? hehehehe Huck

Longhorn Man · 03-25-2008, 03:03 AM

huck just took the words outta my mouth

**brandonh** · 03-25-2008, 03:05 AM

why did i get ripped off ?

Longhorn Man · 03-25-2008, 03:08 AM

Huck would tell you that you got ripped off even if you only paid 25 bones... then he'd offer to be the hero and give you 50!
You did VERY good on that.... a dern good score.

72BlckButy · 03-25-2008, 03:22 AM

Nice score for $150!

Huck · 03-25-2008, 03:29 AM

I drove 8 hours to get a set similar in condition to yours and paid $250. So yea you got ripped off----and if you sold them to me for $100. more they you paid---- You would get ripped off again---this time by me!!! hehehehehehe

jkaylor68gmc · 03-25-2008, 03:29 AM

nice score! I just scored a set of 02 Lincoln Navigator front leather seats still wrapped for 300.00. Figured I could make a dollar, Did you buy them to resell or restore?

**brandonh** · 03-25-2008, 04:31 AM

im going to restore them, my 67 cst had them in it and a long time ago when my father first got the truck he sold them for a bench seat, so had to get another set to replace them go now the 67 cst is going back all stock it will be fun

teeitup · 03-25-2008, 04:36 AM

Great Buy!!!!!!!!!!!

**70cst** · 03-25-2008, 05:15 AM

BINGO!!! We have a winner. Nice buy plus it's going to get your CST back to its original seat option.

Mint68 · 03-25-2008, 06:04 AM

How did you find these things? That was a sweet deal.

**brandonh** · 03-25-2008, 06:18 AM

well my father put an add on his local internet providers classifield trying to find a 67-68 chevy truck bucket seat. Well this guy i bought them from and another guy wrote him, the other guy never came through. so we started emailing back and forth with this seat finally after i think about 4 to 5 month my father said to him i need to know if you want to sell them and if you cant get them out i will come and take them out myself and my father offered him 150 bucks and he said he would take them out and bring them to us so you cant beat a deal like this once in a life time for me i didnt ever think i would get a set of buddy bucket seats

**brandonh** · 03-25-2008, 07:10 AM

ttt

streetstar · 03-25-2008, 10:16 PM

awesome buy -- i would go up to $500 for a set like that (i'm not in the market for a set now though)

**brandonh** · 03-26-2008, 02:12 AM

well i really hate to spend 500 dollars but i would have if i wouldnt have found this set. the bad thing is these bucket seat are going to keep getting higher and higher its a thing called SUPPLY AND DEMAND kinda like radio delete people about used to give them away not anymore.

72armyswbtruck · 03-26-2008, 02:59 PM

Nice Score

**brandonh** · 03-28-2008, 01:35 AM

thanks ya i couldnt pass them up

*Shane* · 03-28-2008, 02:12 AM

you should, in good conscience, take the guy the rest of his money on those seats ...

msgross · 03-28-2008, 02:32 AM

easily worth $350+... good buy, I paid $150 for a dodge set which are very, very similar to the chevy BB's.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-28-2008, 03:29 AM
