Those are custom made covers. I say this because it's a 71 Challenger patteren and there were no red seats in 1971 whatsoever.

Are you keeping the red interior? If you're changing color, Cudahunter is looking for a red interior.
If I cant fix it, it's broke

I have already talked with him, I think I'm going to keep it, car is painted black

If the seat covers are custom made are the seats from a cuda or a challenger? I imagine the rears are from the same

YES the seat patteren is correct for 1971 Challenger. The frames themselves are all the same for 70-72 E Bodies with the exception of the seat back release button.

You wouldn't happen to know where to source 2 of the knobs that are used on the seat back release for a 72-74 seats do you?

PG Classic makes them if you can't find used. :2thumbs: 73-74 are a little chrome lever at the bottom, is that what you're needing?

I have been trying to find pics of the round things in the foreground. Are those for the bottom of the seats? 
and what appears to be the kick panels. Maybe it's just the angle but they don't look like e body.
Those are unfamiliar to me.
Plus the part that is on the door stand is unknown to me.  looks like a different rear seat back?

They don't seem to be b body or e body.

Rear seats the same between challengers and cudas? Does everything else look like challenger or cuda?

I think Pete found a good one here!  I looked at it for him and this is a REAL 71 Cuda that has been off the road for along time and has a fresh show car paint job on it.  Real solid car!  There wasn't any motor or trans in it and the seller didn't think he had them, but I found the numbers matching trans in the corner along with a 71 340 to a car a few VIN's early.  There is another 71 340 block that I didn't get to see the VIN.  There was lots of parts to a bunch of cars all around.   Must have been 6 or 7 cars apart.  The Cuda is painted black and with a little more work this Cuda will be ready to put back together.  I think Cuda is a great deal.  Wish I would have found it first.

Pete, the Front and rear seats are ebody and will fit in the Cuda.   Let me know when you might be picking it up and I'll see if I can get there to help you.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Also, the red interior panels (front, back and carpet) are just to the right of the 70 steering column on the floor.  I didn't get a photo of them.

When that car is all put together it'll look awesome!  Black car with a red interior is GORGEOUS!  :grinyes:

No, I believe thats for a 70 Cuda seat I need the ones that slip over the little arm at the rear of the seat which I believe are 72-74 seats. Its the knob you lift up to get the seat to fold foward so folks can jump in back.

Like this in the pic. The chrome piece.

The white seat in your picture is a 1973 or 74. I'm not sure if they are available in reproduction, you'll be stuck looking for used.

The other red parts shown in the first pictures are not Mopar parts that I'm aware of.

The rear seat frames are slightly different between Cuda and Challenger. They will fit each other, but won't look correct. That is true for 70-71, not sure about the later ones.

Sure looks like these BUT what are the pieces to the left of the box. I don't recognize those as e-body parts.
