The seats changed mounting later in life. The seats got narrower as time went on. The adjusting slots are on the outside (Toward the doors). The 72/73 seats were on the inboard side, so that's why they go in opposite sides. I had to make brackets for the 84 911 seats to fit, and run power to them for the power adjustments. Funny though, the rears are a perfect fit.. lol Here are the 72/73 seats in the car.
I told 72002 to make me an offer. I also have a full set of used black carpet, a console from an 84 911, some 84 door panel stuff, and a bunch more odd ball stuff.

Generally it is OK to let this type of post just slide, but bad info is bad info. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that 72/73 seats will just slide right in to a '67 car. Well that just will not happen. The seat lockers changed in 1969 from the outside to the inside, SWB to LWB cars, fact. What often happens is that the LWB driver and passenger seat get swapped, then they will slide in. You see this when the tilt mechanism is on the inside of the seat not the outside. A clever person can swap the LWB driver bottoms and then trade out the backs, so the passenger bottom is now the driver bottom with the driver and passenger backs on the correct sides and the seats will look right. This may be the situation with your 72/73 seats. Therefore they will slide in but to say that a 72/73 seat will just slide in is incorrect!
After all this, the easiest way to tell SWB from LWB seats are to look at the bottoms of the seat bottoms; the SWB seats are open underneath with a burlap covering over the springs, the LWB seats have a solid metal pan seat bottom. Simple, very simple.
As you can see in this SWB photo the seat lockers are bolted to the outside inner rocker. They are not visible because they are unbolted but clearly there is no lockers on the tunnel.
In this photo of a LWB '69 and later, you see the lockers welded to the tunnel.
Not trying to bunk your sale but get the facts right to an unsuspecting buyer.
