Are you looking for a set of 68 seats? I may have a pair that are done and in black and believed to be 68's. I think 68-72 are all the same but someone more knowledgeable in Nova's may correct me.

P.S. I will be at Gateway Motorsports park tomorrow.

Pretty sure 68 Nova buckets are different than the 69-71 versions. Headrest/release latch...

68 Seats have plastic backs where as the 66-67 has metal. Frames are the same as well.

68 seat frames are one year only they have the release button on the side facing the door. The 66 seat frames no button to move seat Back forward. 67 seat frames I think have the button but with a metal backs. 68 Nova seats have no headrest plastic back. The seat tracks are nova specific. They measure on one side at 14&quot; and one side at 14.5&quot; I have a picture some where let me see If I can find it. Chevelle bucket seats look the same but the tracks are longer like 15&quot; and 15.5 inches if I remember correctly.

These are out of a 69 nova. I used them on my 68 nova with no problems.

I believe these to be 68 seats and tracks. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
