Don’t shy away from imports either, you’ll find plenty of similar styles even in early 90s cars with more features as a bonus.
Just try to see what stock buckets measure width wise and get something similar, I’m running 2012 Impreza seats and they’re a smidge too wide- the column is noticeably towards the driver’s door when sitting in the seat.

I agree. There's a lot of quality made, comfortable foreign seats out there. In fact, I wouldn't mind a nice set of foreign seats in my wagon. The Monte seats are okay, but lack a certain amount of comfort. At least that's my observation.

I picked up front cloth seats out of one of these a few years back for the Regal, but being I never work on it, they haven't been installed. seemed comfy in the junker I pulled them out of...

Saw these today. 89? ish buick sommerset, same as the ugly 2dr FWD grand ams. They look pretty similar to the stock late 80's regal buckets but with some added bolstering.

Grab that console too. Wonder how close the back seat is as well. Sorta matches your interior color...

Actually planning to grab those for my wagon as long as the color doesn't clash too bad with the rest of the interior.

Unless MrSony takes the drive and snags them first. :O

Getting these 87 Monte SS seats. I posted in a few g body parts pages and got a bite. Picking them up tomorrow for $200. Little pricey bit it's basically what I wanted. Color don't matter as they're gonna get recovered anyway. Driver's seat has some wear, but sh*t they're 33 years old.

$200 isn’t bad, some people pay over half that for the tracks alone. Looks like 85’ material, a color/style combo only used one year, maybe someone would want the old covers.

$200 later...
They'll call my basement home for a while. Up close they're kind of grody but good.
