Reopening an old post just to add my experience:

I was able to install a front facing seat with LATCH easily in the back of my 1980 SC Targa; all that i had to do was to cut off the straps that holds the rear safety belt, and leave the bolt with the metal part attached; they fit perfectly the latch (i do not use the rear seats anyway so i do not need the belt at all).

The back was strapped using the rear belt with the hook, to the back of the reclining seat; once is tight the seat moves very little.

Is not something that you wanna use every time, but if you feel that you wanna have your kid for a short ride on a sunday morning, it is a doable thing, instead than using the eye ring ( they were hard to find in that specific size that fits the rear bolts).

The only downside is that the front seat doesn't go that far , so you gotta use the recliner wheel to lift up the back part of the seat, and this somehow could cause visibility issues if you are not used to
