my dumpster find of the year!

RoadRanger

-Skylark65-
so i was working at my boss's shopping mall he owns today, cleaning out the basement, and driving the company's 06 duramax before it gets traded in tomorrow. i filled the one dumpster with junk, had a load of scrap in the truck and one last bag of trash, go to throw it in the other dumpster, and what's half buried in there?

a pair of damn near mint lowback GM bucket seats, from about a 1963-1966 full size car ( think impala, gran prix). they looked barn fresh, probibly stored inside for a LONG time. passenger side seat is PERFECT, drivers side is very nice with 2 tiny tears and mabe 2" of the piping pulling away from the edge where you get in and out of the car.

i gave 'em to my dad for his '56 or '57 or '54 chevy projects. he's still in disbeleif i found a pair in the dumpster, lol, but he got 'em all cleaned up and i took a couple pics for you guys. enjoy :thumbup:
 
wow thats awesome dude, i wish i could find stuff like that!!

thanks man, i gotta say though it's been a LONG time scince i've found something this good for free. last big freebie i can think of was the turbo 400 auto trans for my buick i found in a medow, that was over 6 years ago.

That is an awesome find dude! I bet your Dad was doing back flips!

when he saw what they were he dived headfirst into the dumpster and had them out on the ground before i could turn around, lol.


GREAT FIND!!



They appear to be '65 Impala/Bel Air seats.

he was thinking '65 impala / bel air seats too, scince they don't have any other GM logo or trim on 'em.

Those seats are about $500 bucks new! Well done!!!!

Thanks!
i don't even think they are repro'd, i know at the swap meets roughly $350 will get you a set of decent tracks and springs with some material still hanging there. finished seats can run about $800+
