Title: WANTED: 66 Galaxie Bucket Seats
Post by: Diogenes on June 30, 2014, 12:18:18 AM

I'm looking for bucket seats for my 66 Galaxie 500. I am located in the suburban Toledo, Ohio area.

It would be nice to have the correct buckets, but any buckets seats from the era, that would not stick out like a sore thumb will suffice. I have a nice recently recovered black vinyl/cloth bench seat that I will probably part with, once I find its replacement.

Does anyone have seat suggestions that will fit and not look out of place from later model cars?

Thanks

Here's some on the Minneapolis, Minn. Craigslist. Not mine, don't know the seller. He's had them for sale for a while.

I don't know about late model interchange, but T-Bird buckets are the same I believe and they all came with buckets.

Thanks for the heads up on the seats.

I understand why they have been listed for a long time--they are real proud of those seats at $800+.

I agree with you on the price, that's one reason I didn't buy them, lol. Only upside is if they're the color you want and the condition is good it might save on recovering them, buying new foam, etc.  I have seen cores for sale over the years at around $100-$200 pair, nothing right now though.

Bucket seats in decent condition are 'in-demand' items commanding good money, especially if they're complete with tracks/sliders. While $825 certainly isn't cheap, neither is it outrageous.  Pics would really tell the tale.
