Few upgrades transform a classic interior quite like the Autotecnica Sport Seat. Drawing inspiration from the iconic sports seats fitted to 1980s muscle cars and sports sedans, this retro Scheel-style bucket seat delivers authentic period character with practical everyday comfort. Designed as a period-correct replacement option, it captures the look enthusiasts remember while offering reliable modern construction. Finished in hard-wearing grey cloth with lighter accents and vertical striping, it’s a favoured choice for classic Ford Falcon and Fairmont models (1972–1988).
Key Features
Retro Scheel-Style Design: Classic bucket seat styling inspired by iconic Australian muscle car interiors.
Grey Cloth With Vertical Stripe Detailing: Hard-wearing grey cloth front with distinct lighter accents and vertical striping for an authentic vintage appearance.
Modern Orthopaedic Support: Designed to provide improved seating posture and comfort compared to many original factory seats.
Dual-Sided Recline Adjusters: Backrest dial adjusters on both sides allow fitment as either a driver or passenger seat.
Fixed Headrest Design: Unique one-piece seat structure with integrated headrest for a clean, classic silhouette.
Ford Factory Rail Compatibility: Original Falcon XA–XE sliders use a 32 cm front-to-rear spacing. Minor modification — such as drilling a 10 mm hole at the rear of the factory slider — allows fitment to the OEM slider frame. Alternatively, vehicle-specific aftermarket subframes or base rails can be used.
