Wanted: Bucket Seats & Console

awhitlow0869

I am in the process of restoring a 1972 Monte Carlo Custom. I am looking to replace the split bench seat with bucket seats and console. If anyone has or know any one who may have bucket seats from a 69-72 Chevelle or Monte Carlo please let me know. Condition of seats are not a grave concern as of course they will be redone to match remaining interior. Also looking for the center console which can come from anything 70-72. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

You might scan the Hemmings Motor News classifieds for parts vendors.

Also once in a while these seats will show up on eBay, although often they are singles and need rebuilding.

Won't the console need to be specific to a Chevelle or Monte Carlo, with the basket-handle shifter?

Here's the '72 Monte Carlo console illustration, straight from the brochure, if you're interested in an authentic look:

Chevelles did not have woodgrain. Other GM mid-sizes had different shifters.

I believe a '70-72 Monte Carlo will have the same console. The "Old Car Brochures" site I linked would have the '70 and '71 brochures too, just to make sure.
