I have an opportunity to buy some buckets. Can someone tell me if these are the rights one for a 67 Beaumont? Also what would be the low and high $$ you would pay for these seats? Thanks, Kevin

I'm not and expert, but as rabbit64cs indicates, the metal back and side pushbutton look right for a 67. I would also guess there is way more A body buckets out there than B body buckets. It would be nice if they were the headrest type, but you can't have everything.
I sold a set like that for 150.00. They were green so that makes them worth less but they were complete. No more than 250.00 but I would think less. I think 200.00 is reasonable.
There's a set that need recoving on Craigslist MN for $450 including rear seat. No pic of the back shell to see the button and tin backs...but he does say they are correct '67.
Food for thought that I just became aware of... The 67 Beaumont seats are apparently the same as all '67 A-bodies. In most cases any seats you buy would require reupholstering as a result of being worn or a different color. Probably a good idea to replace the foam as well. As a result, it might be cheaper to find (the less in demand) A-body seats from something like a Skylark since the foam and vinyl are being replaced anyways. (One other note...apparently 67 and 68 seats are virtually identical, except that 68 seats have a plastic back vs the metal back in the 67.)

sad part about my GTO seats, I pulled back the vinyl and phone ,,,,no torn seats underneath....wow.... and notice how they pulled the same treatment on the door panels, pounded the stainless retainer back over the panel after they modified them with pliers to fit....oh my !!
