Mine in my 68 coupe were also toast, i.e., seat covers torn and several of the springs broke. Thought about going with aftermarket seats but after I priced the restoration of the originals it wasn't much more than new aftermarket seats, plus I still kept the originiality of the vehicle. Ended up paying $159 for new seat covers (front and rear) from Mustangs Unlimited and the upholstery shop tore my front and rear seats down to the frame, repaired and replaced all broken springs, completely stripped the old paint/surface rust, repainted them, replaced the seat buns, and installed the seat covers for $300. I thought it was a decent price ($459 total) for original seats that look like they did in 68. Depends on what you want, i.e., style, comfort, or originality. They're actually pretty comfortable now with the new seat covers and buns.
