I bought them at a yard sale for $35 for the pair. They are out of a late-model Ford Mustang/Escort and were in great shape except for the stock metal feet which I had to get rid of anyway. I had to do some creative adaptation to put them in, but they're in and they work much, much better than the old ones. They are still not what I'd call a comfortable seat for long trips but they _are_ cloth and they aren't disintegrating into a pile of horsehair and rusty springs! (sound familiar?) :) And the price was right! If anybody is remotely interested in the (extensive) details about how I got them to fit let me know and I'll email them to you directly. John
