I've had several 66's, and ALL of them had belts. Either the P/O took them out, or someone else did before he got it. Wheather or not you have to install them or not, is up to your ststes motor vehicle department.

 

Thanks for all the reply's. I am an avid endorser of seat belts. It is the law in my state to wear your seat belt. But after pulling the carpet and searching for the bolt holes, there were none to be found. I am just trying to "C.M.A." in case I do get checked. Thanks ZEAUS

 

I think thats my worst fear...is a front end collison...all i can picture as a big V8 coming to eat me up.

My car came with standard lap belts, no belts in rear though.

 

If your car did not come with seatbelts from the factory you don't have to install them, it's the "grandfather clause".

 

Thats it, I don't have to put them in, so I am not going to.

 

I don't have seatbelts so i just tie myself to the seat with a rope....hope that works...may actually be more efficent.

 

There is a good chance that if your seat belt is @ 40 years old the fabric may have some dry rot and will shread as soon as you need it anyway. Come to think of it, the headliner fell apart, the stiching in the seats came apart, the carpet was dry rotted...the seat belts were the only thing I didnt replace that was fabric uh oh

 

I just installed lapbelts in my 64.5. Two front seat belts cost me $50 bucks and I had them installed in an hour. I think it is pretty naive( and probably a good bit of rationalization) for anyone to think they are safer with no seat belt.

My 68 came w/ seat belts in the trunk.Does that mean I have to install them?
