69 Cuda replacement seats?

#1 Post by J Murphy » Sun Mar 29, 2009 10:59 pm

Hello all.

I have a 69 Cuda fastback that I run in ET Sportsman. I'm somewhat of a stickler when it comes to keeping things "stock looking," whether that's good or bad I don't know.

Currently the seats are very low (it hits just between my shoulder blades) and since we've just dropped in a 360 (estimate low 13s) after running 15.0s with the 318, I've become concerned with neck movement in an accident. The neck is not made to bend backwards, and it worries me if I were to get into an accident, my neck would extend backward causing injury. Does anyone have any recommendations for "stock appearing" seat replacements for my application? I think I could get some Challenger seats, because I think they're the lower-sitting seats. I found some seats in Jegs too, but they either look cheap (to me) or they are pretty racecar-ish. Thanks for any help.

70 Cuda looks like it could be had with a high back seat. Not sure if it is higher than what you have though.
