    WTB: Original Vinyl Lower Front Seat Bottom from a '68-71 Car

    As the title states.

    I need an excellent original vinyl front seat bottom for my '68 car.

    I only need the vinyl but I'll buy the entire seat bottom (or entire seat) if I need to.

    I need a driver side but I think I can use either side for the vinyl?

    My car is a '68 but think I can use vinyl from 68 up to 71?

    Black, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm confused, John. Here's a great set of seats on ebay. Aren't you the seller?

    Why would I want to break up an entire set to match a single seat bottom in another car?

    I've been told by knowledgable people on this board, as well as Tony at Autobahn, that the seat covers from 68-71 are interchangable. 67 and earlier have a different profile. Slightly slimmer I believe.

    If the car is as nice as your stuff typically is, I figured you'd install the ebay set in the car and sold the others.

    Wrong seats for my car. Mine are the later 68 seats with headrests. Actually, I didn't know that set was even on ebay. I have someone who sells the spare parts from my shop on ebay but I didn't know we still had these seats. I'll have to check before someone buys them and they don't exist.

    As for a seat bottom... still looking.
