Well I got scored some high-back bucket seats from the junkyard on Saturday, and the car I pulled them from (I think) was a 71 coupe, possibly Grande. After looking for an upholstery kit, though, I am beginning to doubt that. The seats are dark blue/light blue. The center inserts are cloth, (the light blue part) and the "edges" are vinyl, and dark blue. All of the mustang places I see (Mustangs Unlimited, Year One, NPD, Dallas Mustang, etc.) have all vinyl upholstery. So does that mean this seat is not actually original? I will get some pics on later tonight, but hopefully that will help.

Oh, and if it helps, it has a little "handle" on the back of the seat which you pull up on to push the seat forward.

 

Sounds like it could be a seat from a Fox Body but I'm really not sure. Got any pics?

 

Oh, didn't think about the fox body. That could definitely be a possibility. I have some, but they're at home. I will get them up tonight.

 

Alright, finally got some pics. They are hereand here.

Thanks again

 

hahaha how bout that, in our 71 fastback we have light blue cloth seats looking exactly the same as those

 

So are those ones you have out of a 71, or did you put them in?

Trying to figure out if they are stock

 

That little handle pre-dates the Fox-body by several years. My 1972 Pinto had the same kind of seatback release.

i have no idea if they are from the 71, they were in the car when we bought it

 

Well, I'd be willing to bet they are 71s then. But it doesn't make sense - why would they come stock from the factory with cloth, yet all of the mustang parts dealers only offer them in the so called 'stock' vinyl?

 

i am positive they offered cloth seats back in the day, when i was looking for a mustang i looked at a few dozen, almost half had factory cloth seats
