    This is a driver quality, ready to use pearl white hardtop back seat.
    I believe the pattern is correct for a 71 and 72.
    I had it with me last year but don't want to haul it again unless someone wants it.
    I will bring to Bowling Green if $250 obo is paid in advance.

    Troy,
    Just so you know, that seat frame is for a 71-72 car.

    It would also fit in a 70 car, but you would need to drill 2 new holes to mount the rear seat top, as the spacing between the holes changed in 1971.

    The seat frames changed in 1972 with notches for addition wheel well clearance. 70-71 had the back rail the entire width of the seat.

    So, is this seat for a 71 or 72? I could use the upper one for my son's 72 but you probably don't want to split them up. The 72 is coming to BG.

    This seat was part of the NOS parts hoard I bought ~5 years ago.
    From talking to the original owner, it was from a '71 car.

    That seat is a 1971. I had that identical seat and the same 1972 seat with the notches. It will fit and function correctly regardless. The differences are not seen when installed.

    Well, regardless, the top one should be the same which is the one I need.

    It will fit,but just you guys know what I am referencing to,I took pictures of the original seat from my 72. Notice the the bottom,the main rail in about 7” shorter on each side and there is a notch as a result. Then look at the side of the upper seat. It has a notch that follows the curve of the inner wheel well. No idea why they decided to do that for 1972.
