just looks like standard , no split, thirdgen rear seats. If ur on a budget that requires spending nearly nothign, try the yards. It'd be ur best bet. If you're close to St. Louis, don't go to gateway salvage they'll rob you, try a different yard. Shouldn't be that hard to come by, however, doing a color match, might be a tad more difficult.

You could always look for a set of 4th gen cloth seats, not quite as deseribalbe as leather, (shippings the same though, so stay away from ebay, use it for the stuff that's highend, and high price.) Then slap a set of those in ur ride, it'll look nicer, and feel nicer.

Jacksonville's a blast!!! I saw only three 3rd generations there; a camaro Z-28, a "recaro wanna-be" trans am, and finally mine, a silver '82 T/A w/ black decals. Other pontiacs that were there included a '73 and '76 trans ams, and about four or five late 60's GTO's. Later on I'll post some pics from this year's, it was this past weekend. I cruised for a while on cruise night then my family and I walked around the middle of town where the more incredible cars are parked by their owners to show them off. There are all types of cars there; all years of mustangs, chevy belairs, shelby racing cobras, sometimes there's even a delorean, lol. Next year you should go, I highly recommend it.

Those look like the PMD seats, don't they? They'll be a bit harder to find.

We were there on Sat. for the cruise saw about 5 3rd gens. Was a bit dissapointed though seems that there were alot of everyday cars and not as many "nice" cars as there has been in the past.
Probably saw you... we were cruising from 4:30-7:30 never did stop to park. Going to have to check out the show one of these years but IMO the cruising is more fun

I go for the cars that date back at least to the 80's. I think that a three year old acura which the owner has equiped with hydralic lifts doesn't deserve to be in a car show with a 57 CHEVY BELAIR! Putting hydralic lifts on a car is an act of sheer desparation to gain attention. But it was pretty funny when I looked up to see a truck with ground effects and hydraulic lifts have the lifts lower the truck smashing the front bumper ground effects into the ground, LOL!!!

As weird as it may sound the best cars can be found in the Hardees parking lot; corvettes stingrays, shelby racing cobras, late 60's to mid 70's mustangs, GTO's, classic impalas, and, last but not least, camaros and firebird/trans ams (1st & 2nd gens).

All I'm really after are the two seat cushion, with gray apolstry in descent condition.
