Repurposed auto seats?

[oneisnone]

A buddy of mine gave me a pair of front bucket seats from a 67 Shelby GT500 that he didn't need. They have been recovered and are in perfect condition. I'm wanting to make some house chairs or a bench seat out of these, but coming up short on ideas. Anyone done this before or have any suggestions?

I bet you could sell them.

I bet those are worth some money to a collector.

No sure I'd repurpose.

You don't turn around and sell stuff that a buddy gave you.

I have built some out of 2x4's wooden base

Thanks everyone, he's had them for sale for 3 weeks and was gonna throw them away this morning. He told me I could sell them, use them or trash them, he just wanted them gone. He had head rests added to the seats, which he thinks made them not as attractive to collectors.

I'm afraid that would be too top heavy, and you couldn't use the recline feature

The motoring show Top Gear did something similar.
