Hi Guys, not sure where i should have put this, but here goes. what seat would fit a 68 charger, front buckets with buddy seat and rear bench.
the seats have three large horizontal pleats on the seat base and back.
anyone got any suggestions. ta

The thing is my 68 charger has a red/maroon interior with cloth seats, i have been told they are incorrect. they look like the have been there for a while and have the right pleats in, they match the rest of the interior.

Are you asking if the buddy set up will fit,or any seat from a B bod or the like?

No i wanted to know what the seats in my car are out of if poss

There probably the originals & been reupholstered,as the original 68 three pleat seat would have been vinyl.

Maybe at some point the owner did'nt like the sticky sweaty seats when it was in the states.

could have, only been able to contact the 2 owners and its only had three. the guy i got it off owned since 1990, the one before that got it in the mid 70's. who knows just wondered if they were out of another car.

The buddy seat came with the three on the tree (colum) shifter.

Whats beneath the cloth covering? Be nice if it were the original vinyl,but to get the pleats in the cloth I would of thought the original was long gone.

Maybe they did a factory option for cloth,but I doubt it.

heres a pic of my interior, what do you think, factory, recovered or out of something else..?

Deffo out of a 68 Charger,been covered at sometime

What Adam said.

Looks like material from a Ford Orion. Right pattern, wrong fabric.

All that can be obtained though from Legendary / Year One etc. etc.

Hi Clivey, they match my head liner & i have set of floor matts the same. do all chargers have a similar cloth head liner.

I've had a couple of hours looking at websites but I can't find anything cloth until the early /mid70's. So,you have several possibilities,original been recovered,ultra rare option or prototype.Can you tell if the door panels and dash pad have been re-coloured/vinyl painted? I wonder if it's possible that the first owner or any of his family can be traced? Whatever,I wouldn't alter anything until you are sure it's not original/rare.

Hmm, maybe it was an export model.

Be interesting to find out.

I've been in touch with a guy in the states, Mr W D Goad. He confirms my car was burgandy (RR1) paint and maroon/red interior (C6R), but he's not sure about the cloth seats. It was a rare option in 69..! he thinks the trim looks original/factory fitted. thats all I have been able to find out this far, I have not been in touch with the original ower as i dont know who they were.

i reckon they have been retrimmed in cloth they would have been red vinyl from new, i would leave as is they look tidy will feel warm in colder weather and basicaly match the rest off the interior spend money elsewhere
