CL buckets from 65 nova SS (not mine)

[Possmguts]

Im pretty tempted to jump on these myself but Ill share anyway. They look to be in great shape with what I think is a great price and should fit nicely in a 67-72... Since Im a ways away from the seat stage, here ya go...

I emailed my buddy-he has been looking for a set for years

I have a pair of buckets out of a 65 corvair, look just like those. Anyone know if they used the same seats?

[BlueBullet]

I am guessing so that's what it says in the ad

I asked awhile back about early GM seats such as GTO; Chevelle and others. have seen them onCraiglist

Oh man!.. That had to break your heart. How long ago did it happen?

Late 1980's. 1988 or '89

I saw the car about 5 years later at a Super Chevy show in Baytown Texas.

On a trailer, slicks, no interior except racing seat and no VIN tag. There was something unique to the car so I knew it was mine.

I asked the owner(?) where he got it and he said he bought it out of Angleton Texas. He didn't impress me as a thief but who knows? I tried to get the Sheriff, who was working the track, to help me. He asked "How long ago? - Forget about it".

I'm still looking for it. They didn't make too many of those '65 SS

I read a story recently about a 57 Chevy that was stolen 30 years ago. It was found in a shipping container and returned to the owner. It had been fully restored and upgraded. When it was stolen it was in need of restoring. The owner made out like a bandit, but it took 30 years.
Heres the link to the story. Sorry to hear about your Nova though. Maybe some day it will find its way home.

Vairs and Novas had same seats, good bucket seats

[cdowns]

they cant b used as is they need spacers of about 6-10inches made to fit properly

[Lokin4AReason]

if i remember it right, 65 was a unique year for those bucket(s) ....

i think it was the trim or something about them ..

[AirSpeed]

Anyone ever built a mount and used them in a truck? I might have to use mine to fake a buddy bucket look

I had a friemd that had 65 corvair seats (same seat as these) I set them in my cab and they seemed to look too small for the cab. I think a fullsize Impala or maybe even a Chevelle would seem to look better, but I haven't actually seem any of the bigger seats in these trucks.

With some steel and a welder anything can be made to fit in or on anything.

theoretically correct but I wonder why some people have problems bolting up premade tubing on such a regular basis
