Title: Red Standard Seat Belts
Post by: 67ModTop on December 19, 2007, 01:38:29 PM

I have a 04A Camaro Sport Coupe that has a red standard interior. This is the second red standard car that I've owned that had Black Standard Belts installed. The fronts have no date tags but the rears have May 67 dated belts. The original owner remembers that he had to add the rear belts... But the fronts he swears are original !?
 My question is, Was there a documented shortage of red standard belts in late 67?  I ask this because my other red standard car also had black belts...that car's build was 06B

I think the standard seat belt color was black, unless matching belts were ordered.

Yes, that's correct. Standard belts in a red interior were black. Deluxe belts got you red webbing. I have no idea why Chevy that when they did match the standard belt colors in other interior colors.

Tony,

I don't know for sure. Maybe a '68 guy will chime in.

There were no red standard belts in 67-9. Only red deluxe.
