Mooney Front Seats

[Gary Bymers]

Over the years I accumulated many spares for my 1962 M20C and am now selling those parts. My J is running well and I am mostly finished restoring it. I also restored a couple of airplanes.  I  obtained several front seats and had a couple of them redone for my projects, and then chose different colors or different approaches. So I have these two sets of front seats for sale. $1450 for the beige ones and $2100 for the saddle brown ones with headrests. I would prefer local pickup but can arrange shipping. I would also consider trades.

These chromoly frame seats were used by Mooney from 1955 - about 1965 when they switched to an aluminum monocoque construction. I owned a 1962 M20C for 34 years and now have a 79 J. The seat track width is the same from the 1950s through the 90s at least. I like the chromoly seats better because they are more robust and do not flex as much as the aluminum models. I had these made for my J, but then decided not to change my complete interior to match this color, which is my favorite. These earlier seat had a back adjustment system, that I never liked in my C, so I have disabled that and fixed the seats so when pushed back, they stay in that position. They fold forward, but the position when pushed back stays in the most forward position which was always the most comfortable for me. I flew my C with these type of seats to Alaska several times and frequently had 4 hours legs, and they were always comfortable. If you have any questions call or message me at 6O8334OO51 Thanks
