I have them, but where are you?? Shipping gets quite prohibitive on this type of item

I went out and looked at mine today, and they are not really worth shipping. The windows are gone on the drivers side, and mother nature pretty much finished them off.

the front seats were one of the few things I salvages out of my fastback... the square's seats were simply shot mechanically and cosmetically....
funny thing is, I had these seats for sale for a while before I bought the square... good thing they didn't sell...

seat removal is pretty straight forward: on the inside track of both seats, there is a metal prong/tab that you press down as the seat slides forward, then the seat just slides off of the tracks and it is done...

What year is your car again? I'm only asking because there are differences between 71 and 72 on seats in their mounting.
