Has anyone used these seats. What are your opinions on them for a '72 Chevelle?

I love those seats.. I am pretty sure I will be putting them in my 67 Mustang.. they look like they would give decent support and they would not look out of place in a relatively stock interior..

I like em :thumbsup:

I saw them in a 68 camaro at a local show here, and they truely fit well with the stock interior and looked right at home.

On another note, I bought my seats, harnesses, and steering wheel from Jim (Motorsport seats), he's a great guy and is willing to give us a price break...tell him I sent ya!! ;)

72silverchevelle -

I have no experience with those seats, but I do have the Corbeau GTS II seats in my 68' Charger and I can say they are outstanding. Adjustable and EXTREMELY comfortable. They are also firm enough and have enough bolstering that I can go around a corner and still feel firmly planted. I know it's not the seat you were looking for but though I would chime in just the same.

I just ordered a pair of black leather Arizen seats for my 69 El Camino. http://www.arizenracingsports.com/
Keith Anderson has a pair of these seats in his killer 70 SS El Camino and I fell in love with them. Cost was $565 shipped to my door.

I have Procar Rally seats in my '69 chevelle. I went with the black velour covering. I love them, they're lightweight, comfortable, and were easy to install. Best of all they're inexpensive. I chose the velour covering because it would be cooler to sit on (no AC in my car), and you don't slide on it. These seats really hold you in the car.
The bolstering may be a bit overwhelming if you have a 'large build'. But my scrawny butt fits in them with no problem :).

If you're building some high dollar SEMA car then they probably aren't fancy enough. But if you're like me and want the 'go', but don't have money for lots of 'show', they get the job done.
