Modern Seats
« on: March 08, 2007 - 09:10:16 PM »
Well, we are selling another car to make money for the challenger project..and seats came up on the list.  I have a set of newly foamed and upholstered seats for a 71 challenger but, I like new seats with bolster support and stuff like that.  I saw that the new SRT8 charger has some mighty fine looking seats as far as comfort goes.  Does anyone know if these will fit in a challenger?  or are they to wide? :dunno:

Don't flame me on this one mopar fans!  But I'm planning on putting 2005-2006 mustang seats in my challenger.  I just went to look at one and took a measuring tape(salesmen thought i was a little weird measuring the seat inside and out :smilielol:)  They will fit very nicely.  The reason I didn't go with the new charger seats is they are from a 4-door car and do not tilt forward!  I found a set but good to have more eyes out for me, if anyone sees a set of black leather mustang seats from a 2005+ mustang around lemme know!

Post some pictures whenever you get a pair installed.   :thumbsup:  I thought about the 2003 Mustang Cobra seats (leather with suede insert like the SRT-8) seats since they would probably fit well.  I loved the SRT-8 seats when I sat in one, but they look pretty big and I'm not sure they would fit in an e-body.

The SRT-8 seats fit no problem, but the problem is that they are from a 4-door car and don't tilt forward.  So getting in the backseat would be impossible.  Gotta find a 2-door car so that they tilt forward for access to the rear seat :thumbsup:

Please post your results, I have a 2006 Mustang and love the seats.  I wondered if these would go in my Challenger.
