I took the front and rear seats out of my old 74 144 Grand lux because they are newly upholstered in black leatheret and are in beautiful condition (I have them for sale) My question is,what models will these seats fit,any of the 240 or 164 models? anybody out there can answer this question for me?

The style of seats in the 144GL were the same in all the 164 models up through 1974. In 1975, Volvo introduced a new seat design that was not as attractive in my opinion. Also, the back seats should fit in the 140 and 160 (wagons excluded)series without any problem with little or no modification. The front seats mounted differently in the later 140 and 160 models so some modification may be required to install them.

Even though the 1975 model had a different style seat, I did use the seats from an earlier 164 because I like the style much better. I reupholstered them in 100% leather...fronts, backs, sides and the headrests too. Well worth the extra effort and money. I never cared for those new style headrests in the 1975 + models.

Where are they?
They will, or can be made to, fit any 140/164 except the back seats probably
will not fit in the wagon (because the back of them isn't upholstered, etc.)

How much??

Hi,
I have a 1974 144GL. I have been using the car as a daily driver for 22 years and absolutly love it. I had some increadible leatheret seats at one point but my old dog trashed them. I just installed some beautiful leather seats out of a newer 240. I am sure that my new dog will trash them as well at some point. He took little nips out of the top of each door panel when he was a puppy.
When I saw your ad on the ipd site my eyes lit up. I am somwhat saddened that you will not ship.
It is my opinion that the seats that you have for sale will fit any 140 and 160 series car and can be made to fit any 240. The back seat will most likely not work on a wagon however. I am pretty sure that they are only correct for a '73 or '74 140 or 160. I may be very well be wrong on this because I remember the car orignially comming with some thrashed leather seats....a bit different than the leatheret ones I got while working in a Volvo junkyard in Richmond.
Anyway, the market for 140 and 160 stuff is small but passonate. You most likely will find a buyer in your area. Good luck.
