There were some pics floating around a year ago or so of an SS 'vert with 4 'vette seats in it. It looked very good. I don't think they are a direct swap though. You'd probably have to do some fabrication.

You're looking at 1000-1500 bucks for both front seats. I was looking for a set of Black/Torch red Z06 seats, but never really found a decent deal on them. They should bolt in directly yes, however, I'm not sure what is needed to get the power seating etc. work. I would imagine they use the same connectors, but I'm not positive. But they will bolt in, I measured them before. I have a hookup at a dealer, I'll see what kind of price he can get me.

Verdad Gallardo LOL, whoops...I was a bit preoccupied at the time. Yes I meant power seating, the connectors are/should be the same. Is a power passenger seat an option in the vette? That's the only thing I'm unsure about, I've never been in one, other then to measure the seat brackets.
As for the rears, that is an all custom job. You would have to take out everything in the back. Most likely drill some holes, and possibly fabricate some brackets. I'm not sure what the floorboards look like back there. You can see he also added a custom center arm rest for the rear as well. Definately not a direct bolt in though...

If you're not opposed to used seats, they come up for sale every now and then at the Corvette Forum. Still pretty expensive though...
Yeah, I was on corvette forums for awhile looking for the seats but I'm too picky. The chances of someone wanting to get rid of their blac/torch red sport seats is somewhat rare. But they are awesome seats. 
There are some good custom upholsterers out there that will hook you up with any kind of covers you want. That might be your best option if you're looking for the mod red Z06 seats and a power passenger seat. You could buy a set of dual powered seats out of a wrecked car or something and get new leather put on them. They'd look brand new.
Edit - Just wanted to add that if you end up with the mod red interior, you gotta post some pics!!

Anyone know if there are manual corvette drivers sears? I'm a lowly
non-power equipped guy.

How would you get around that? Putting the seat on manual frame and getting it to slide up and back manually seems like it could be done.
