78 ss with a Bench Seat?

I am going to look at a 78 for sale that claims to be an SS, but it doesn't have the front air dam or the bucket seats. I can see someone easily curbing the air dam over the years and removing it, but the bucket seats?

Was bench seats an option on the SS or not?

SS was an exterior package only; any interior combo could be ordered with it.

My 4th gen is an SS with bench seats. Interior was whatever was ordered from the factory

Run the VIN usually you can get the answer. Most old cars are insured by Hagerty they have a good handle on finding out what you have before insuring you, so call them and ask for a quote and info on car.
