You will see them sometimes with no AC, no power steering, AM radio (or delete), manual tranny, no tint .. basically no luxury options at all.
The Strato bench seats weren't that lightweight, wouldn't surprise me if they were within a lb or two of a pair of original Strato buckets.. Just bought a digital floor scale, weighing nice condition original buckets & bench seats is coming very soon. Can only remember running across one '69 RAIV Goat with its original Strato bench. Seems to have been a good supply of manual drum, man steering RAIV '69's built.
