    They look Mopar-ish to me. Not GM seats.

    I didn’t think they were gm. Figured they were ford or Mopar. Just trying to narrow it down

    I looked at an old 2007 Legendary catalog, which carried Mopar 1957- 1979 Dodge, Chysler, Plymouth A, B,C, & E models along with AMC and GM A body cars. It didn't match any of them.
    Considering that they have headrests, which became mandatory in January 1969 or 1970, I'd say that they are later year cars, They are fairly wide to be bucket seats, so I'm thinking bigger car...
    Are there any tags or marks on the seat springs?

    There is a tag on the springs.

    Those are 1969 Ford seats based on the tag reading VC9ZB.

    So if I’m reading correctly they are low back bucket seats with headrests for a 69 mustang grande. Appreciate the info. I looked for reference pictures and came up empty for a match.

    All that I am saying, is that based on the 'VC9ZB" part says that they are 1969 FORD seats. Nothing more, Nothing less...Based on what I have seen: On Mustang GRANDE seats, there are usually two different types of material; yours look to be all the same... All that the 'C9ZB' does is identify it as a 1969 Ford Motor Company part, Could be Lincoln seats, could be Mercury seats, Could be Ford Truck seats. I do not know. Just relaying what I found, Parts is parts. Gm used the same cating number for the same heads on granny's 455 four door ELECTRA that was used on the GSX Stag 1. Same part cast on same date ended up on two totally different purpose engine, Same thing with the 1986/ 1987 Buick "109' blocks: Scads were used on run of the mill Buick 231 v6 2 barrel cars that ended up pushing the Granny cars; some were used on the Turbo cars and were machined with the drain for the turbo oil return, Same exact casting number.
    Just saying.

    That tag made me go look at a set of seats I pulled fom a sometime in the mid 60's Buick Special. I just KNEW that they were NOT factory seats for THAT car. They had the correct METAL lower trim for a 66 GM car with power seats, but the track had larger metal bolts welded into where the holes should have been to mount the tracks to the floor studs, and the tracks were attached to the seat bases with stainless steel Allen head bolts/ screws. but I digress... Tags on MY seats were VC9SB-6564700-L with LSI-SK-259-8A and LSI-SK-255-8A. I know that Lear Siegler made seaats for the 82 Buick Regal Grand National cars, the 84 and 85 Buick Regal T-type and Grand National cars, and the 1986 Regal T-type in cloth: they also made the seats for the Mustang SVO and Capri cars as well.
    Now I have absolutely NO idea what the seats of mine came out of originally.
