Title: 1968 fastback seats
Post by: nightmist on April 25, 2024, 12:15:37 PM

I am restoring a 1968 Mustang fastback GT with black decor interior.  Were comfort-weave seats available in non-Shelby 68 fastbacks or just the smooth vinyl?

Yes, comfort seat material was an optional material.

Fun facts

Comfortweave was not used on convertibles (including Mustangs)

GT500 KRs fastbacks with black interiors got the comfortweave

There was no saddle comfortweave in Shelbys

Thank you for the answers.  Would the comfort-weave seat option for a 1968 fastback be listed in the Marti Report?

Knitted option was also available when ordering a bench seat also. Neither of the options (bench or knitted) were very popular that year.

Some 68 GT 350 got comfortweave too.
