 I know the '67's are pretty rare.  They do have the side push button and
 plastic seat backs and are in pretty decent shape.  How much are these things
 going for these days??
 
 Thanks

They're fairly rare, Donnie.  I've looked at a lot of '68 Chevelles over the
years and have only seen a few with factory headrests.  In fact, only 2426
were fitted with the RPO A81  (bucket) headrests from the factory.  Of
course, rarity doesn't always determine the price... they're only worth what
one man will give and another will take.  But, for a person looking for the
correct setup for their '68, I'd say they'd probably give more than the
going rate for the more common '69-'72 versions.  JMHO.

Oh, in case anyone is interested, the bench headrests were only installed in
1571 '68 Chevelles.  Even rarer yet!

I've been watching and bidding on eBay for a set of bucket seats during the
last several weeks.  I'm seeing them go for between 175~300/pair.  Most of
them need recovering.  If anyone has a decent set at a reasonable price, I'm
interested.

I also would be interested, i do not mind if they need recovering, but need tracks too.
