1968 Mustang Headrests--Dealer Option

Yeah, I'm finally back from Florida. Lost 20 pounds and am beat. Anyways, at the last minute, I decided not to put these headrests on the car. Still in the box. Nothing wrong with them, just going in another direction. Before I put them on Ebay, thought I'd give you folks a first shot. Selling them for 125.00 (includes shipping). Less than what I paid for them. Send me a PM if you're interested. Robb

Can someone explain how these mount?
Do they mount on the outside of the seats or do you need to cut the seats?
They appear to have a bar that goes on the back.
Anyone?

I have questions about headrests as well. My car (according to Mr. Marti and his report) was ordered with headrests. They are no longer with the car. I would like to recover the seats and would like to add the headrests back to the car. I have seen two types for 68 - both with dual posts. One type is as shown on this thread with the "over the back" look. The other type, which I observed this past weekend at the Mustang Roundup in Steamboat Springs (great show, almost 500 mustangs) look more like the 69 headrests and set on top of the seat (dual posts). Maybe the difference is one was factory ordered and installed and the other dealer installed?

Robb,

I'll take them if they haven't been sold yet.

Cheers!

From the factory they were dual post similar to the 69. I say similar in that they were form fitted almost like the dash pad. They were not upholstered. My car is supposed to have those too. Unfortunately the ones in the car were too badly rusted, and deteriorated to save..I have been looking for replacments, but they have been way out of my price range..over 500 bucks for a very good replacement pair. I may go the 69 bucket seat route...

I think they're spoken for, but thanks! Probably sold them for a bit of a discount, but worth it for my buds on the site who have paid me back more than I could imagine!! Robb

That's what I did... put in '69 seatbacks w/headrests. They seem to be much easier to find and cheaper than the '68 headrests (the type that come out of the top of the seat, not the bolt-on-the-back 68 headrests which I am not partial to). The 69 seat backs are exactly the same as the 68 and the headrests are close (single post in 69 vs dual post in 68). Not Concurs correct but very few people know the difference... except around here :wink:

This might end up being an inexpensive set http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...=1,1&item=4652461825&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:PIC

I had to laugh at this part of the auction after looking at the pictures.

NEED RECOVERED OR CAN USE THIS WAY

I can also screw a milk crate to my floor for that matter.
Definitley a recovery job but still a decent price so far I agree!
