Beretta seats in a Thirdgen?

Will Beretta, Corsica or Cavalier seats work
in a Thirdgen camaro? I know the Fourthgen camaro seats will work, but I'm on a buget and don't need leather seats. I've been scoping out the local salvage yards and found alot of these cars.

I can't imagine that the back seats would work, but you might be able to rig up the front ones. You can find 4th gen seats in good shape for 100 bucks. I have found plenty like that around here.

Those Corsica seats(and others)will definitely work. You'll have to change the seat tracks on the bottom tho, they're just held on w/4 bolts--very easy.

YES!! I found my original Firebird seats (and later found out they were Trans Am seats), in the strangest of all cars in a junkyard.

They were in a 4-door Pontiac 6000 Station Wagon, Special Edition!

I had to do two things. I had to switch my seat rails from my old Firebird seats onto the "new" seats. Then, because I nabbed the seats from a 4-door car, they didn't tilt forward. I had to switch the tilt mechanism from my seats onto the 6000's seats. That was a bit tricky; I had to undo some of the hog rings (upholstery rings), but I worked slowly & carefully & got it all back the way it came apart.

For the longest time, I was just checking out F-bodies for seats... and almost settled on a "fair" set. I just looked at that Pontiac Station Wagon as a laugh- and wound up getting PERFECT seats!
