    There is a pair on craigslist for $100 need total refinish but I love swivel bucket seats a friend of my older brother had them in his 75 hurst olds
    and think they would be awesome in my car.
    A little history on my lark Nothing is original the previous owner converted it from a column bench to console bucket using the interior out of a 68 lemans. the console is out of the same car and since that was the case i found a 68 hurst his hers shifter (another thing i loved about the 75 H/O) and replaced the stock lemans shifter with that.
    I want my car to have the things i like and am not concerned at all with originality what so ever
    any info on whether the swivel buckets will work would be appreciated
    I am pretty sure they will bolt in but i am more concerned with function and if anyone has already tried or already succeeded putting a set in and how they addressed matching the rear seat covers
    thanks
    Chris

    My friend put the swivel seats out of his wrecked '74 Cutlass into his '69 Olds 442. You have to get spacers or make somthing for the mounting points (I think the seat needed to be raised ~1.5 inches or so), but they fit nicely between the center console and door panels.
