    Any Ford seat of the same era with work, but it's the seat tracks you need, Mavericks & Comets are unique to themselves.

    I placed an AD on my local CL...and ive had some replys from sellers with newer mustang seats like from the 90's era. Im not sure what all years and models will fit my mav...Ive also looked at THOSE racing seats on Ebay and first off Im a big guy and they look to be uncomfortable to me at the hip area? And I'd bet that something would need to be modified. Not sure about the seat tracks on the race seats? I dont have a problem with making slight mods somewhere to get the seats to work...I just need to know what seats will simply fit within the alotted area? I have NOT seen many mavs online that show bucket seats that seem to be from a mustang or anything else really!!! Any other suggestions?
