Never seen that one before. 

So, you could order a deluxe seat belt package?
It obviously came with the little clips to hold the female end?

Cool!

Never seen orange seat belts either for that matter.

Weren't the 70 seatbelts different than later years?
They look like my 71' seatbelts.

These 1970 only buckles are one year specific as they have a totally different shape to the '71 buckle.
The 1970 Buckle where available in Black, Red, Tan, Burnt Orange and Blue they all shared the same white stripe around them.
Yep, C15 is the code for them :2thumbs:

My 1970 convertible came with 318 engine with a ton of optional stuff (dual chrome mirrors, map light, air conditioning, luggage rack, delay headlights, SE trim, etc).  But they chose a bench seat and column shift.  I guess having their babe sitting next to them was very important.

Can you post a copy of your fender tag please. :clapping:
I would love to see it and verify something if your tag will show it. :2thumbs:

I don't think that bench seat if correct.  may have been put in by a previous owner, but bucket seats are mandatory in a 'vert.

What color is the R/T SE ?


It was FE5 Red, Black Vinyl top, black bumblebee stripe...



*That first tag should read "JS29", not "JS27". Typo on my part...

The previous owner said he thought it had a bench seat since it came with a column shift for the auto.  He converted it to a console shift while he owned it.  That is why I said bench seat.  I misplaced the vend number tag so I can't show that to you.

Some might think the center folding arm rest/Buddy seat was a bench seat.

That is the kind of seat I was thinking he was talking about.  Would they put a bucket seat in with a column shift?  I would think that combo wouldn't sell very well.

I don't know, but I could see Chrysler doing it.

Recently saw a red center "DODGE" lettered reverse for a Challenger.
Normally those were white I believe
Never saw one before that.
