Procar Scat seats in 65

STLCRZY · February 13th, 2012, 01:11 PM

Hi,
plan to install the Rally the Elite seats in my 65 442 conv.

I was wondering about the ride height with this seats and brackets because i´m a tall slim guy(6 Feet 6 Inches=6'6")
If there be enough space to the roof with the Rally or the Elite seats?

Best regards from Germany

The rally seat is a pretty small seat, and you do sit up pretty high, even with it in the lowest position on the mounting brackets.

I had them in a 70 elcamino about 10 years ago. I liked them but i'm 5' 11. I have taller friends and they weren't quite as comfortable. Nice thing is of course that you can recline back to gain headroom- i didn't have that option in the elcamino.

I think the elites sit a little bit lower. I think they have a new seat now that has the elite seat bottom, and a rally-ish seat back. You might take a look at their website.
