Hello.
I just acquired a 64 Barracuda.
The backs of the bucket seats lean too far back;
it is worse with the driver's, to the point it looks collapsed.
How can I remedy to this; help anyone ?
 
Most of us would need to add spacers between the seat track and floor. Your early A seat tracks are bolted to the risers with square head hardware. There is a lot of adjustment to seat angle and height available there. You might find the previous owner leaned the seats back at that adjustment.
 
They are at the max already.
Besides , had it be only that , the corrective never would have been sufficient to even visually give the mere appearance that is now corrected.
I beleive Demonic's answer rests closer to the solution, so far.
 
Look at how the seats mount on their bases. There are horizontal bolts and slots that control the angle of the seat. Perhaps the previous owner set the seats to "lowrider idiot"
 
'65 Valiant that I owned back in the day had a seat-back like that - I screwed a couple of pieces of wooden shim to the back of the seat bottom to lift the back of the seat up
