My question for those that posted previously;
What 78-88 A/G body was available with a power passenger side bucket seat?
The only power passenger seat I have ever seen was in an 85 or 86 Bonneville I saw at a junkyard that had a power passenger side seat with a split bench.
Also what 78-88 A/G body had a lighted driver side vanity mirror on the sun visor?
 
I don't know if this stuff is "rare" but 85-88 Claret Regal Buckets are tough to find. Hell, Claret Regal anything is hard to find in good shape.

Original chrome '87 Regal Grilles.

I have a black T-Type steering wheel. I've seen a lot of other ones in other colors but never seen another black T-Type wheel. I'd happily trade it for a claret one.

Another rare option;
45/45 seats with the short console as available on the 84-87 Buick Regals
Passenger side seat recliner on split bench Regals and Cutlass models with the split pillow top bench.

Does it have leather on it or just the plain vinyl? The Skyhawk T Types and Century T Types in the mid 80's could have a black steering wheel like this one.

I'm fairly certain there was never a g-body with passenger power bucket seat. I got trim from a Cadillac Cimarron to do my conversion, the f-bodies don't have the passenger power option either, I'm fairly certain. The passenger power bench is probably pretty rare in itself for a g-body, I haven't really looked for that but have never seen one first hand either.

I also never heard of a driver side vanity or mirror visor on a g-body.

The "PMD" bucket seats available in 82-83 Grand Prix's aren't easy to find, although out there. One of those seat options that isn't easy to find.

The Grand National guys used to do the Cimarron trim for the passenger side swap. I still have some in storage.

It was never an option for G bodies. I installed a spare seat track and cut the seat side shield for switch fitment. It's added vehicle weight but being the fastest LS guy out there isn't my goal.

Finished the swap last spring. Never really use it, same with power mirrors. Did it "just because" since it looks factory. Finding Cimarron's isn't getting easier but have located a couple, not all have power seats but seems to be relatively common with them.
 
Since seats have been brought up in detail, try finding '81 Chevy cloth Strato buckets in dark maple that matches the base cloth on my original seats. I personally never seen them.
