Glassic Seats

It certainly is possible and often desirable to improve on the original Glassic seats. Here is the place to find other people's experiences
regarding seats.

Car 1254, a 1978. The prior owner installed new after-market seats in Mar. 1997
$229 each, $56 for each track unit and $172 to assemble and install both seats.

They are called ProCar Custom Reclining Bucket seats and were purchased in Tampa, FL from Fisher Buggies - who seem to be a VW parts place. See below for a pic of their literature and the invoice.

(these are a tight fit in the space)

Here is some info from Bob Soderquist in Colorado

. I replaced the original seats with a pair of "bucket" style from a 98 Neon...fits perfect. I just had to make some adapters so I could use the original bolt holes in the floor. I didn't want to drill any more.

The photos below were sent by the new owner of car 270 in 8/2004. Thanks Todd.
