I love the original black leather seats in my '73 cs, but ther're thrashed. I am thinking about having them recovered, and have noticed materials alone are somewhere near $1000. I've also noticed that later model sedan seats covered in leather with power mechanisms can be found for approximately $500. a set.

So, I'm thinking of getting a set in anticipation of having to have something to sit on while the originals are being recovered, or just fitting them for a more modern seating alternative if they are truly superior.

Anybody done this? How hard is it to modify either the original seat rails or replacement seat rails?
I've seen later coupes with power seating, -is it hard to hook up newer power seats?
Thanks.
