I've had ProCar rally houndstooth seats in my '70 for about 5-1/2 years and decided to do a quick review video to help others.


As I mentioned in the video, the seats sat way too high for me using the ProCar bench-to-bucket conversion brackets, so I modified them by cutting and welding on new tabs. You can find more detail and photos on that in the following thread:

Hope this helps someone out there.

EDIT Updating to add some more recent photos after changing carpet and installing the ProCar provided matching rear cover over my original rear bench frame.

I have also had the Procar Rally seats for a few years now. They are wearing really well with no issues. i also did not buy the factory brackets and welded brackets to the floor of my 65 ( Thanks for the info. 62Civa- where ever you are).
The seat come with an existing lever for back and forth adjustment.

I sent Procar the original rear seat covers and they had a set made for the rear to match the front.


One thing to note- and they do mention this on their site - there is a limit to what waist size these will comfortably fit ( 42" I think)

I did the same, modifying the mounts and making my own floor brackets, I’m 5’-10” and the height works out pretty good

I should have mentioned. I am 6' 1". With my car being a sedan- I guess I gain an inch(?) of headroom where as two and four door sedans have a higher roof line than the " Nova coupes".
The head rests are easily removed if you want a different look for the cars shows, etc.
The interior picture was taken just last week and I have a pp. 4500 miles in the drivers seat- so yes they are holding up well.

I have them in the Camaro...can confirm they sit higher than stock. I'm 5'6" and my hair was grazing the headliner. I cut my brackets down to the lowest position, and they're...ok. Back seat is completely useless now, there was some room for backseat passengers with the stock seats, but no way with these. I do very much like the seatback tilt though!


DS lowered...PS still to go:
