I've even seen a few with the Deluxe interior bench seat. Much more rare IMO.

copo9566aa,
I don't think there was a factory option for a bench seat with a hot girl--it was definitely an aftermarket item.

Bench seat was not available after 68, so you wont see any second generation cars with it.

I saw a bench seat for sale at Super Chevy (Atlanta) this year. I think the guy was asking about $500 for it. It was in perfect condition too. Wished I had got it now. It was the only one that I have ever seen. Oh well.

There was one for sale A few miles from me early this summer and had been nicely recovered in blue. If anyone is interested I can give the guy A call and see if he still has it.

I've only seen one bench seat. It was a 68 L30 with a column shift Powerglide no less.

I ran across some of those after market 'Hot Girls'. There were times that I cursed that console and floor shifter if ya know what I mean...(Grinning)

"Bench seat was not available after 68"
I have seen a 1969 Firebird with the bench, and it was definitely original. So I always assumed that 69 Camaros could have had it too. I have never seen a 69 Camaro with one though.

How about this one. Never could get the trim tag info from the owner so I don't know if it's original or not. But if it is, it would have to be a very early 69. Bench seat is not a listed RPO for 69.

I did happen to see one in a 69 COPO this summer at a local cruise. However, after getting more info on the car I found out that it was a clone. Not sure if the bench was an add in. But that was a first for me.

I've got two friends with original bench seat cars. Both are '68 SS396s. One is an L78/M21 with black standard bench and the other is a loaded L35/M40 with deluxe blue bench and headrests. Only heard of one other car that had a bench with headrests.

Back in the 80's a guy down the street had a 69 convertible with a bench seat in it, although if memory serves me it also had a Z/28 emblem or 2 on it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Ed,

Here's a picture of the bench seat with headrests. Obviously, the car needs a restoration. Would be neat when done. It is loaded with power windows, a/c, tilt, wood wheel, remote mirror, vigilite, rally sport, fold down rear seat, etc. Not a made-up car.

I guess the only thing rarer than a camaro bench seat would be to find a camaro bench seat center armrest! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
