I'm shopping around trying to find the best deal on Original Looking Seat Belts. I pulled in to 7-11 the other day and a officer of the law ask me why I wasn't wearing one. I had to explain that when I got the car it didn't have any but they were on order. He politely told me to hurry up and put them in. I would like original or at least original looking. My 72 had shoulder belts also so I'm looking at a pretty good amount of money probably. I need black if that helps.
Thanks

I have been thinking of getting new ones for my vehicle. I have not done much detailled analysis, but thought that the second row shoulder belts in the Chevy Tahoe would make good ones. You can get these with the end release buckles. Also 82 Camaro and Firebird seat belts are supposed to fit some C3's. You can google that and find articles on that.
Good Luck

Brian(redwingvette) has installed Fireturd belts in his car, and he really likes them. It's a feasible alternative to the mega-$$$$ for "original" or repros.
The cheapest I have seen repros was around $400-$500 for the set!!

Vette(s): 1981 Red Interior White exterior
I was lucky I got mine when I did. I had a set of non-matching blue/black set in the car when I bought it. I left it like that when I saw the prices of 1980 and 1982 vettes. They didn't have any for the 81 model yr. After my car was off the road for restoration i always managed to keep an eye out for those tough to get parts. Ended up getting a set from a crash victim for $100. Seems it's easier to get the deals when you don't "have " to have them.

When I shopped around the best price for combo lap and shoulder with the 2 retractors was at RIK's,,,,$425, closest to original for my 74.

This will get you to the right page.
Gold MemberI had my 80 seatbelts re-worked by this company, http://www.ssnake-oyl.com. They also sell seat belt sets, new and re-furbished. might be worth a look. They did a good job on my belts.
