1966 GM Strato Bucket Cores

I have a set of 1966 Strato Buckets out of a 66 Caprice (ID'd thanks to forum members).

These have the original Metal seat backs and metal side covers.
The seat covers are in surprisingly good condition, the brackets and bottom has surface rust. The Driver side seat back has surface rust and no apparent gouges or dents, the passenger side seat back has surface rust and a small hole in the bottom corner it looks as though it could be repaired.
The metal seat sides have some surface rust but that's it, they look very good for the age.

These seats have no locking mechanism and would be correct for a 1966 A body and the full size as well other than possibly the brackets. These would also fit 67 and probably 68 minus the seat back locking mechanism and brackets.

$250.00 plus shipping

I live in SE Florida so I could meet someone within a reasonable distance.

Thanks

Those B/C body (full-size) tracks are hard to come by. If you sell the seats to an A-body owner, you should separate them. I think the A-body tracks might even be reproduced, but at any rate, they are far more common than the ones you have there. The full-size Pontiac and Chevy guys would be happy to get them I'm sure.

If these seats are out of a 1966 Caprice then they are wider then there A-body (Cutlass, Chevelle) counter parts.

66 Caprice bucket seats are exactly the same as 66 A body bucket seats less the bolt-on seat tracks. Henry

Right, from 66-72 all GM A, B, C and even E-body cars used the same bucket seats with the only change being the trim and tracks.

EDIT: Of course, the standard & optional features varied by year and model, but the basic seat was the same.
