Exclamation Need desperately!!!!

Needing a set of seat belts to fit a '64 GTO. I have a set of front bucket seat latches...but lost the half that inserts into them. Also needing a set for the rear and would like the chrome Deluxe belts to match my front...which are actually from a '65. Any help appreciated and if you can meet my needs...I will pay your price. Need them in black. Driver condition is all that is necessary, so a few nicks or minor scratches would not be a deal-breaker. Not one of those "Concourse' nit-pickers...and date codes definitely not a concern.Any help appreciated. Thanks again.

Cool So...

nobody saved any belts out of all the early A-bodys? I'm surprised.

yeah...I figured '64s were alot more rare. What year were they standard equipment? Pardon my ignorance...but I've been doing '69s for so long I'm not all that well-versed on the older cars. Just wanting something close to correct and presentable. I have the Deluxe buckle/latch side of front belts out of a '65 Bonne that I'm certain I could use if I had the insert side. I also need rears. By the way...a simple mind wrote this...so you ARE confused! My bad...sorry.

Red face Oh...

to answer the question...not particular on year...just so they are decent black belts. Of course I'd prefer Deluxe belts but that's not a deal-breaker either. Almost to the point of going aftermarket generic but like to exhaust all avenues here first. Any help appreciated. I sold a bushel basket of these things by the pound awhile back when I started to liquidate. I thought I put a set back for this car but apparently I was mistaken. Silly me!

Plan on spending at least 5-6 bills I got lucky on mine at 350.00 the refurb ones can go real high.
I hate E Bay guys have it down to a science bid in the last 8 seconds as high as you can good luck.

I emailed you pictures of the '65 buckles I have, but didn't hear back, so I assume you have found what you needed.

Those ebay auctions aren't 65 belts, but are 66/67.

Are you looking for 100% correct?

I ordered mine from seatbelt planet. I think its pretty close or should I say close enough for me. I wanted them to look as close to stock as possible, so seatbelt planet was able to find the square hole tongs instead of the side lockers. They only sell the chrome lift latch instead of the brushed.

my son just put those in his '64...which is nicer than mine. I got pieces to complete my Deluxe set out of a '65 Pontiac and a matching front set out of a '65 Riviera which look identical! These out of a one owner California car...look really nice anyway. Again...thanks for all the efforts!
