Hey guys,
I was wondering if the Camaro had a bench seat option in 69. I have seen several 67-68 bench seats and have even seen a photo of a blue deluxe interior 69 with a bench seat, but I am not sure if it is original or it was custom made.
Anyway, I have a 69 Indy Pace Car that came original with a column shifter and no console (as well as a powerglide and a 10-bolt rear). When restoring it, I installed a floor shifter and console with gauges as well as swapping out the powerglide for a TH350. I am now thinking of putting it back to the original setup. I kept everything so it will be easy. However, I remember the interior looking empty with just two bucket seats as well as the fact that I had nowhere to put my right arm since there was no shifter/console to lean on. I was thinking a bench seat would fill in that "hole" nicely. So, did GM offer a bench seat in 69? If not, what is everyone's opinion on installing one. Again, I am thinking of putting my pace car back to stock but will I be doing a dis-service by installing a bench seat that did not exist in 69?
Finally, does anyone have one of these for sale? Where would I find one? I don't care if it is 67-68, as I can easily swap out the seat backs and have headrests. Also, does anyone out there make seat covers for the bench seat or would this have to be a custom job?
Thanks for the input.
Steve
