I'm looking for original style '66 front seats; basic black vinyl. Can't seem to find any online. Anyone have a reasonably priced source?

I'm still confused: is that price just for the upholstery or for the entire seat unit? I need the latter.
Sorry, that's just for the covers.
oh well. I am still looking for the 1966 seats! If anyone knows where I can find the front seats, let me know!

I'd like to point out that all the repo covers available are made to the 1967 style. - that's without the smooth borders on the seat face, and a slightly different basket weave style.

Early 1967 cars also had 1966 type seats. The locking catch is on the seat base, later 1967 cars had them in the backrest on the side.
