    I have a local guy tryimy to work out a trade. I looked on line and the prices for seats are all over the road.

    These have no seat tracks and are out of a 67 GTO. Comes as pictured.

    Clearly they need to be recovered but allegedelly comes with all the trim pieces.

    I really don't like doing trades but if it makes sense I will.

    What do you think they are worth?

    I bought a used 67 set last year complete ,all metal undented, with tracks ,everything had minor surface rust that cleaned up and repainted nicely.
    I bought one seat bottom spring and upholstery and silver piping to make them perfect.
    I paid$ 400 for the cores to start with.
    You can buy new tracks but the price should reflect that they are missing.

    Thanks for the info and reply. The issue I have is I don't need the seats and the cash difference is $200 on the deal.

    So if I could get more than $200 for the seats I win but if not I'm just wasting my time.

    I don't want to be stuck with these and have to store or trip over them.

    I may just have to pass on them.

    67 are one year only seats
    If the back , lower metal panels are in good shape
    Latch’s work and minor rust. depending on your market in your area as they fit all gm abodys at $200 you have money to be made
    I’d snap them for that and advertise for double if I found a set in my area

    Hi,

    Watch out for bent seats, have that issue in my 65, not a easy fix especially if get them reupholstered before you discover it.

    Seen seat CV ores 200-500 all depends upon how much you need/want them

    Regards,

    I've bought some crusty 64-65 seats years ago . One set I even threw away. I don't know the demand for this 1967 stuff .....
    But I definately don't want junk. Without the tracks the value goes down..

    If these are original seat covers, I could use an undamaged passenger side bottom cover.

    I don't the actual seat vinyl us good. In the pictures I posted it looks like there was something heavy sitting on the seat.

    I really don't think I'll be getting these the more I think about it.

    I passed on the seats so I wouldn't have to store them and trip over them.

    Seats are a pain in the ass to ship. You made the right choice.
