Anyone have shoulder belts/front seat belts for a '68?

Thanks,

Mike

Definitely a very rare option on a 70 TA. An interesting tidbit is that they will be shown on the PHS as "BELTS-CUSTOM" ... exact same verbiage as when just the deluxe belts were ordered. However the difference is that the regular deluxe belts option was code 451 with an invoice price of ~$13, while the deluxe belts with rear shoulder harnesses were code 452 at an invoice price of ~$39. A lot of money in 1970 dollars for a set of shoulder belts.

my guess is that the pricing is that way because on one hand you're upgrading standard equipment, but the shoulder belts adds four parts that the car would otherwise not have.
