Need low-back seats

« on: October 26, 2009, 09:21:53 AM »
I need two front seats for a 1970 bug I got last week. It now has high back seats out of something, I don't know what, but they got to go.

'70's had seats with built in head rest.  Are you saying these are not VW but some other brand ,Edsel, Kaiser, Nash etc etc ?  Is this '70 Bug the one on the forum that had locked up brakes ?

No Dave, this is a Bug from the Memphis area. I picked it up for my son. The seats that are in it now aren't VW seats. He would like to go with low-back seats like my 66. I think the rear seats I took out will fit in the 70. I don't think the seats in it are safe the way they are mounted.

Same dude has some '68 with new covers and a set of usable '71's.

Take care,

My stepfather has some seats from a 68 they are super easy to convert to lowbacks and he'd probably sell em cheap. He might have a set that I converted as well.
