85 Firebird Seats Same as 85 Camaro??

I have a 1985 Firebird that is getting a makeover, but the seats are shot. I have an opportunity to purchase a set of 1985 Camaro seats for cheap, but what are the chances that the Camaro seats will match up with my Firebird seats? Thanks!!

NO. they are not the same

I think the major difference is the potiac seat has a head rest separate from the seat itself, whereas the camaro has a one piece seatback design.

Could be wrong on that, but Camaro and Firebird always has had the seat slightly different as well as the upholstery is going to be a shade or two different.

They will bolt in, of course.

From what I've seen the Pontiac seats are sometimes wider, but should bolt in just the same.
