one of our local guys has some procars. They are tan leather to match his interior. They style of them looks great and he says they are comfortable. I believe they have different price levels.
I seen an El Camino that had Corbeau seats that looked great.
I would suggest something with a lot of adjustments so you won't get tired of them once they are installed for awhile. Also something that doesn't look out of place. Some guys like the 4th gen Camaro seats but I don't think they look that great in our cars nor are very comfortable.
See if you can find some Recaro's too. They came in a few cars from the 80's and up.
Tons of options just remember if it's something you have to recover it will cost you roughly $600 besides the cost of the seats so if you find a nice set for $400 that already are a close match don't it may not be such a bad deal.

Lear Sieglers are awesome if you can find a set. I have a set stashed to recover and use one day. 3rd set I have found. Kick myself for letting the first two go.

sinister,
Those seats are cool get with ScottW. I think he was going to use a set in his car maybe he knows ware to get a set of mounts that would work. I aways wanted to use a set of those but have the head rest center padded and then covered like the origanl GN seats. Or adapt the GN head rest to the seats before recovering.

Is scott a member or a vender???? did a search cant find scottw

Procar by Scat has adapters for our cars.

They are listed as a valid part number on their website.

You might be able to get a pair of them to work with the seats pictured.

I installed one of their cloth over real foam seats drivers side in 1995, still works great and the foam hasn't deteriorated one bit.

The main reason I prefer driving my WE4 over the GN.

It was around $400 back then, someday I will get one or two for the GN.

Corbeaus are nice too.

Recaro does make a bracket that will work.. I had a set in my car years ago. Wish I could help with a part number

I have a new set of Sparco Torinos that I planned to use, but are sitting new still in the bags. These are the grey and black version (with seat belt provisions).

I am almost positive I bought them years ago with brackets.. have to look

I would sell them (if someone is interested), I just have no idea how the hell I would ship them!! LOL!

Thx

those seats are cool. I would think the headrests would not be such a big deal to change. I wouldn't let brackets stop you from getting those in the car. For one you can always fabricate something to fit if you can't find the correct tracks, it's just steel. Hell, if you got real determined you could probably just make and move around the floor brackets. They're just folded sheetmetal boxes spot welded to the floor.
I am pretty sure you could find something that will work with little mods.

I was thinking of that i could get steel sheet bend and adapt them to my gn seat tracks but i wanted the stock look
