Federal law should trump any order. They all should have headrests as of 1/1/69.

Although I mentioned bucket seats were included,I've honestly never seen a 1969 bucket seat with AR-1 head rest delete,only bench.
I just assumed they were included,but this bulletin specifically mentions only std. bench is affected by the delete,and calls out to exclude the strato bench &amp; bucket.

chevyman0429 can you confirm if you &amp; your friends Chevelles bucket seats officially received the RPO AR-1 headrest delete and if they have a professional looking filler piece in them with a possible part # on it?

My car originally came with buckets but do not have headrest so no I can't confirm yes or no. I'll get some pictures of the tops of the seats tomorrow. I don't recall there being any type of filler peice.

Great Car, where is it now?

I still have it tucked away. Because someone asked, build date was 12D -4th week of Dec Atlanta.

Cloth bench seat. Has the chrome escutcheons in the top of the seat. Seems like they simply left the headrests off...

Here's a copy of the service bulletin on the CRG Camaro site although it pertains to all passenger cars.
http://www.camaros.org/images/hrest/hr_TB69-T-1.jpg

The site also goes on to discuss the head restraint deletion and has an example of a portion of a window sticker with RPO AR1: Less Head Restraint:
