Topic: 1967 Fastback Red Seatbelts

...I assume the fronts should be non-retractors as well. Thank you all.

Fastback (and Coupes) ALL have FRONT seat retractors, this is true for both Standard AND Deluxe belts.
Convertibles did not (could not) use the retractors.

I was reading in this another thread on the forum which suggests that the Shoulder Harness option would come with deluxe seat belts instead of standard. This may suggest why I have deluxe belts but that option is not listed on the Marti report. Can anyone confirm if this is likely accurate?

Just to make it clear, as Jeff pointed out, Deluxe Seat Belts were not part of the Interior Decor (Deluxe) Option. Having Deluxe Seat Belts would also include the Seat Belt Warning Light, mounted in a bracket which mounts to the underside of the dash. Having this light would be a good indication that your car had the Deluxe Seat Belt Option.

Also as Jeff noted, there was only one Red Vinyl used for both Standard and Deluxe Interiors. In addition, only one color Red is listed for the 1967 Seat Belts, and it has a C7ZZ Part Number prefix, so it would not necessarily be the same as the 1966 Red Belts.

And finally, the Shoulder Harness Option required the Deluxe Seat Belt Option ; another good reason that your car had that Option.

Supporting information is attached from the 1967 Color and Upholstery Book, and the May 29, 1967 Salesman's Price Book.

Hope this helps.

Good information, thank you Bob.
Our Marti report does not show Deluxe Seat Belts but does show Shoulder Harness. I am guessing the report is not 100% accurate then, or it is assumed that if you have the Shoulder Harness option you get deluxe belts. I do not have a seat belt warning light however.
