1967 seat belt clips
« on: April 16, 2024, 11:00:39 PM »
Would anybody happen to know what month or week the factory began installing these belt clips on 1967 Camaro’s with a console.

I believe it was discussed here in the past but I did not find any old threads.  As I recall, it was estimated they first showed up in late April or May, and sporadically.

  My 04B LOS w/console and no gauges and 05B NOR w/factory console + gauges and both with standard interior and belts don't have those clips.

I have a 03B Los car and an 04A Nor car and both don’t have them, I have seen other cars with similar build dates as mine with them. So I am puzzled.

I would suspect some cars had them added over the years, since the vendors do not indicate they were a late year option, and some probably just liked the idea of having the clips.

From the site:
1967 Mid-Year Changes:
Seat belt clips on console: The clips were added in March, but usage appears intermittent through April.
