1965 Dynamic 88 conv seat belts

I have a 1965 dynamic conv that currently has replacement seat belts. I am looking for correct belts. Can someone post a pic of correct belts and buckles for this car? Or does anyone have some for sale? (red) .Also, there are no rear belts, Is that correct for this model or am I missing them altogether? Ant help appreciated, Thanks, Tom

Front seat belts were standard equipment on your 1965. Rear belts were an available option (RPO A64) but I suspect few people ordered them. If your car does have them, they may have fallen down under the rear seat cushion. The easy thing to do is to get under the car and look at the reinforcements for the rear belts, which would be located at the base of the upward-angled part of the floor pan in front of the rear axle. If you see the ends of the seat belt bolts, they are under the rear seat. If you don't, they likely were not ordered.

This photo is a 1972 Cutlass, so it isn't exactly the same as your car, but you get the idea. The two inboard seatbelt attachments are the oval reinforcements on either side of the rear u-joint, just above and inboard of the mufflers. The other two are outboard but not visible in this photo.

Joe were rear seat belts mandatory in 66?
Thanks

Yes, as were front outboard shoulder belts (except convertibles).
