My guess would be original '68 seats with headrests. I think in the research-facts area of this site shows the differences. Yes, PHS would tell you for certain if the car came with them. Not many '68's came with them, so would be a cool option to have.

I think they only produced 2000-6000 in 68. Very rare. The parchment color for the 69 would be different than the 68. PHS will prove it. There are stamped nos on the seat frame at the top. Take the head rest off and back cover. There will be a date code on heat rest and frame and possibly a part no.
I picked up a 68 pair with new vinyl for $150 /pair. Sometimes you get lucky!
Thanks for all the information guys! The PHS documentation is a little confusing. On the order sheet under the head restraint column 57, the add number is only the numeral two. On my build sheet under column 57 is the number 1. I have read other posts in which people have said that the number on the order sheet and build sheet can be different (maybe based on the number of beers the guy at the plant had at lunch!) But the Head restraints, if they are original to my car make the cars build even more rare.
This has become important to me recently since I just sent the car off to start its restoration last week. If the seats are original to the car, then I'll keep them. I thought if someone had thrown in a pair of 69 seats, I could be free to upgrade them to something newer.
If you take the headrest out of the seat the chrome post is different between 68 and 69. If I remember correctly it's the number of holes. I have a picture showing the difference I can dig up if you're still interested.
