Anyone have any front seats? Possibly getting a Camaro that runs, but no front seats. Anyone been to the Lynnwood/Arlington Pull-a-Parts recently and know if they have 3rd/4th gen seats?

Awesome, thank you! I can reimburse you the $1.00 if you would like...that's close to 1/3 a gallon of gas?

Bucket seats from an S10 or Blazer or Jimmy bolt in too. Some other passenger cars also, but I can't recall which. Usually you just need the seat rails, which you can get from any trashed thirdgen seats. Then they're a bolt-in swap.

The caveat being the truck seats won't lean forward like thirdgen seats. Same shape and size though. And they have cool patterns sometimes. Razz

My first Camaro had truck seats.

EDIT: Long trip, but here in Tumwater Pick-a-Part there is a beautiful tan interior. No rips, stains, anything. Seats are $20 each.

Yeah,Tumwater is too far for me right now. Been all over Western Washington in the past week. Done with long distance driving for awhile.

I have a list of cars that bolt right in. Thanks to TGO Smile

1982 - 05 Camaro/Firebird/Cavalier
1995 - 05 Sunfire
1982 - 94 Sunbird
1985 - 98 Grand Am
1984 - 88 Fiero
1987 - 96 Beretta (possible rail swap)
1994 - ?? Jimmy/Blazer (rail swap)

Going to see if I can find any nice seats at Arlington and Lynnwood.

Good list! Me likey.

Unrelated, I was looking at your cardomain...

That car is almost exactly like my first thirdgen! It brought some good memories back. I don't know if you know this, but those wheels on there are rare. Undesirable still, but rare. Laughing

1987 Sport Coupe only.

I like rare stuff!

I can get them to shine after washing the car, but that car likes to be dirty. The paint isn't good, the clear coat is chipping off. And the door was replaced because of a little accident, and yes, an accident, not fun when the throttle sticks on wet pavement. I should have pushed in the clutch but didn't have time to react, was trying to keep the car straight and away from hitting a house.

This was my first Camaro. the first picture is the day I brought it home, the second is the day I put the IROC wheels on it.

It's much like yours, except mine had a Maaco paint job right before I bought it. It used to be white. I had the same "rare" wheels that you do. I loved that car, it was so clean. Stock A/C delete, spoiler delete, manual windows and locks. Basically the lowest of the low cheap Camaro. As far as I could tell, the only extra-cost option it had was the t-tops.

Another little known misconception people have is that only 1986 F-Bodies had the high-mount center stop lamp. 1987 cars also got it if they were spoiler delete. 1987 was also the last year that any model of Camaro was sold without a spoiler. (Another EDIT: Excluding the special California IROC)

Such concludes my history lesson. Have a good day, I'll see you in class tomorrow. Laughing

EDIT: Also, your car isn't an RS. Just a plain Sport Coupe.

I know, RS just sounds cooler. Laughing

Well the guy selling the Camaro says he has seats from a Firebird, going to take those if the Camaro turns out to be nice.

Well, don't think I'll be getting the camaro I looked at. Engine was in very good condition, but interior was completly gutted, four different wheels, one donut. Leaking brake fluid, almost bought it, I was this close ||. Guess I'll just keep looking.

If you do decide to buy it I have a full set of 1990 IROC seats out of my wifes convertible. They are light grey, and in decent shape except for the drivers seat. Drivers seat is powered.
