Part of the problem is the bench seat interior. I believe there were a couple interior trim choices, the "two tone" (Custom Models) and what I call "the striped circus tent" (Base Model). In black, the 2 tone isn't so bad.

The upscale interior (Lemans/GTO), as I recall, was only available with bucket seats. It's possible that an interior trim shop could make a bench front seat out of the buckets or from a second back seat cover. They can blow apart a cover and re-sew it adding material as needed easier than starting from scratch.

Another option is to go with ProCar bucket seats in the front and use their A Body back seat covers. They fit '68-'72 but an interior trim shop can make them work.

I have thought abut putting them in my '71 as they have the comfort and features like modern car seating including adjustable backs and better side bolsters.
