Not rare but not common. I had a 7 with backseats once and my friend has back seats in his GXL. however like TopGear said: "They're Large enough for leg-less dwarfs". They were a factory option

ask your insurance agent.

95% of FC's in japan came with rear seats so they aren't super rare. they are more rare in the states and sell for $50-$150 usually.

damnn, i didnt kno that 95 percent of fcs in japan hard rear seats, i have rear seats n my 87 base, i rather have the buckets to put my oil,tools,antifreeze in than sticking the goods behind my driver and passenger seat. if anyone in the 757 area wants rear seats and u have buckets im down for a trade, my interior is gray and they re in good shape

i used to think they were super rare until i went to the junk yard to find a flat part with bins to convert my 2+2 to a 2 seater and all of the damn cars had rear seats except for one which was originally a 2+2 that had been converted. Go figure. I think my 86 base with no bins was rare.

I had no bins in my 87 base too!
Back seats are NOT rare. I wouldn't spend more than $40 bucks for a set with all the hardware for grey ones. Blue and Black I'd spend some more. Red I'd throw away

the seats are worthless unless you like dating midgets or 12yr olds. the bins have more storage. the only thing i liked about having rear seats is they prevented my stuff in the hatch from sliding around. a cargo net across the shock towers does the same thing.

It's the other way around over here. Bins are rare as hens teeth.

It kinda sucks, over here the storage bins are rare as. I want some instead of my back seats since i use mine as storage bins anyway. I have had 4 people in my fc once before, it was in no way comfortable at all

My base has neither:


My sport had the back seats though. I'm guessing they were added in later, since they're red and the rest of the interior is gray . They're impossible to sit in.

Keep in mind the seats were only put in the FC because of the tax benefit of being a 'four seater' in Japan...

Yeah I need to track down some bins eventually. It's weird, under the carpet there's a piece of particle board or something covering the hole the bins usually drop into. So I should be able to just take that out and cut a square out of the carpet and put them in. But they won't do me any good until I get an engine in this bish anyway .

Anyone want to trade a set of rear seats for a complete TII swap?
