IIRC someone did this swap with a silver Monte Carlo SS. He had a thread for it but I cant remember his name :x

Re: purchased some leather seats for the cutlass
Did someone call my name?
Here's a thread from montecarloss.com with a few different ideas about how to intall these seats. None of them are easy...

Re: purchased some leather seats for the cutlass
The back seat isn't from a GTO. Its from a newer Cadillac Eldorado, with some modifications. Check out the thread on MonteSS.com.

Re: purchased some leather seats for the cutlass
I'm wondering what the final cost is between the original purchase of the seats and then to get them reupholstered to match a gbody interior?

Re: purchased some leather seats for the cutlass
It was just last year and I'm already unsure what I paid for the reupholstery of the front seats... Senior moment in progress. Let's call it between $600 and $800, well over the cost of the seats themselves ($450, that I do remember).
There's info somewhere on the interwebs about installation of the GTO back seat in different cars. In most cases, it involved shortening the upper part (at the bottom) because they're too tall and fabricating fillers for the sides. Looks do-able but will be a chore.
As mentioned, I used an Eldorado back seat and the fabrication was ridiculous. The yard wanted pretty much the same money for the back GTO seats as they got for the fronts so I passed on them. The Cadillac back seat project was launched with a $40 investment which helped get that off to a quick start.
