300. +/- is my guess for a nice set. It would be easier to purchase a used set in poor condition and have them restored in bright blue.

When I bought my ’67, the original seat belts were long gone. The airplane type buckles drove me crazy so I searched for about a year. I finally pulled the trigger and bought a set off ebay last year. A complete set (black) with refurbished buckles, new webbing, retractors and boots ran me $350. They were beautifully done and there are some good sellers on ebay, you just have to be careful. It took a while to get over the sticker shock, but that’s pretty much the going price.

I had a set made for my 63 by Charlie at Stingray Sity, not the cheapest but probably the best!! Give him a call any he can give you some options.

Definitely try to find some in good condition. The prices the restoration places charge are equivalent to rape. I called to have some done for a car I was doing and it was $750 and didn't include any re-chroming if needed. I ended up dis-assembling them, re-dyeing the belts and sewed on new labels. They came out perfect and it cost less than $50.

Some people are lucky enough to be married to an excellent seamstress.
