Hi,

Total newbie to this car. Front seat has seat belts (2). Rear seat does not. I'd like to put some back there. Easy enough to do? Run away? Can I get 3 belts back there?

Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you.

HA! I thought I saw that car on craigs list! It really is a beauty. Where are you from?

I don't know if 65s came with belts in the back as they were mandated in I think 66. Try to take the rear seat out and first see if there are any mounting points, I think there should be 4. Start with that. Whether they are there or not it shouldn't be that difficult to add them. You can get a set of factory style ones from a 66 or so. Or you could just get a set of aftermarket ones which will be cleaner and most likely colored similar to what you need.

Btw I'm from Waltham, I though it said it to the left, but for some reason it doesn't

there are no rear belts in my 65 and nowhere to attach any. I`m pretty sure they didn't come with rear belts. should be easy enough to add.

Hi Rich,

Thank you. I am in love with this car. I am in Northborough.

Hi Bill, do you ever get up to Kimballs in Lancaster? It's every Friday Night, I'll be there tonight.

Hello. my 65 440 Convertible didnt come with 3 rears also . I took a set from my 65 4 door parts car and doubled them up on the holes for the other 2 frame mounts... I have a bench in the front and also did this to the front. I am now legal and safe for 6 people cruising in my vert.

Hello Bill,

Here's what I found in the 1965 Factory Parts Book for seat belts.

It seems to me that up to 1966, seat belts were an option.
