1966 reclining passenger bucket seat

1 year only style with no seat back release...

This 1966 recliner was a fairly rare option. The lever pulls smoothly the

seat reclines and locks. Lifting the back it returns to the original position.

the seat is a tad ruff to the eye . It lived in a barn for 25 years tracks welded

to half a steel 55 gallon drum .. In the 70's the ole farmer I got it from

had to put a heater core in the 66 GTO ,

being a big guy he said he pulled the seat and 4 speed console

to help give him room. Got it finished up and took a trip to the local tavern

for a barley pop and somebody stole his car. He never got it back.

So he had the 4 speed console and the seat advertised and I picked em up

15 years ago ... Never gonna have a 66 so offering up a few hard to find

66-70 Olds/GM items here .. before epay ... I should have the ruff headrest

and the hardware also seperately if theres a need. 450 shipped ..

the metal seat back and surrounds ARE included but not shown... I tore it down

for a lube ...

If for nothing else the story about the farmer, the barrel, the barley pop, and the stolen GTO is worth $450 in itself!


I am still laughing.


Good luck in the sale of your seat. Worth every penny.


The story of that seat needs to printed and affixed to its bottom for prosterity.
