John,

Here are my findings:



They certainly look black to me. I soaked them in soapy water for days making sure that all the dirt came off.

I know that this particular belt is original to the car because I was the one breaking sockets trying to remove it from the car .

Your thoughts?

I will dig them out when I get home today to be sure of the color and then I'll post some pics of everything.

John,

Thanks for the reply.

I know that black is the standard seat belt color, but when I looked here:

http://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml#InteriorColors

under 1969, footnote 'e' states that the standard seat belts are green.

Am I reading this wrong?

I was over on Camaros.net and somebody brought up the fact that the seat belts of a code 723 interior should have been dark green in late '68. My original belts (with proper 11/68 date code) are black even though I've got the 723 dark green interior.

Is there a reason why my belts would be black instead of dark green? Or is it just a deviation from the norm at the factory?
