Those are some of my favorite seats ever. I’m sure it can work but it will be difficult. New cars are so much larger and especially wider. The Boss seats are quite large so you would need to do a test fit.

Jesus you guys made a mess out of this thread . To answer the op question even though the seats sold yes . On Facebook in the coyote swapped foxbodys group there is a guy who makes the adapter brackets for the seats .

I actually like the look of the S550 seats in a fox. Even the back seat can be made to work.

As much as I love my 80's Ricky Recardo's, I wouldn't mind picking up a cheap set of S550 seats and trying them out. I even found a site selling a standalone heated/ventilated seat module system that might be able to get the seat heater/coolers working as well.
