Title: What are these seats?
Post by: Archialfa on June 11, 2017, 07:46:35 AM

I saw an ad for a 1970 Charger in Germany, but what interested me the most are the bucket seats. These look like original B-body seats, but clearly are not or I am missing something.

Link to the ad: https://m.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=245675681&utm_source=com.apple.UIKit.activity.Mail&utm_medium=ios#desImages

They look like they provide more side support than E-body bucket seats and I am considering to replace my seats with these if I could find out what model/type they are. Any thoughts?

Great! Anybody fitted these in an E-body? It shouldn't be a problem I guess...

I'm looking for seats which will provide mode side support because I live in Central Europe and roads here are narrow and bendy. Sliding sideways in every corner gets tiresome quickly.

Wonder if you could use the covers / foam and put them on an E-Body seat frame? They look to be a close fit.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking... and they look like stock, especially over here in Europe where most of the people never saw an E-body live, let alone know what should be stock or not.

Cody, the seat covers you posted are available to buy somewhere?

The seat posted is a 1970 Cuda seat. @MoparDave (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/mopardave_10) sells them and Legendary makes them.

not quite, but close - the '70 Charger seats are among the most contoured - heaviest padded (luxurious) seats Chrysler Corp. built ('71-'72 b-bodies also are similar)

those are '70 Charger seats - maybe a little overstuffed, but pretty close to STOCK

Thought the side seat belt area looked 1970 Mopar. :bigthumb:

I agree that the top picture first post is the original 70 Charger seats ,they are identical to the ones in both 70 Chargers I have had

I saw those Shelby Charger seats.
The Mopar L body cars and trucklets have excellent seats.

If I could see how the E body brackets mount to the seat, I cam give you s better idea if they bolt up.
