Default Is this worth anything?

Have seen a couple of treads about seatbelts in the C3 parts for sale. And right know im looking for a complet set for my 72, but no way I´m going to pay 1600 $ for a set from ssnake oil.
So I have these laying around, but dont wont to sell them for 50 bucks, and then shipping would cost me the same to the USA.

I have these in Oxblood. Datede E 73. They work, and the webbing is very nice.
Are they worth anything?

The belts you have are 74-75 Coupe belts and may have been used in 76-77. They were not originally instaled in 73's as the ones you have are all in one not seperate parts lap and shoulder

(ssnake oil.) appropriately named, charges ridiculous prices. I have the original passenger side in black left over from my 73. After so much trouble trying to find the oem belts i gave up and replaced them both with racing belts. Put an add for the driver side belt in the parts wanted section. If you find it, i will send you the passenger belt free. Forget ssnake oil.

So would it be a waste of time trying to sell them Lyle? What about you would you be interestet? I have heard that you do alot of seat belting
Do you have a better price than ssnake oil in a complet set of lap and shoulder belts for a 72 Lyle....?

Best regard Wisp

AA2PR: thanks for the offer,but I thing is like winning the lottery finding seatbelts for my 72...

The belts you have are worth 50 to hope to sell them someday 300 to a person needing them. Red is hard to find a buyer. At this time I do not have a complete black set for a 72. Is your 72 early and not needing the switch on the retractor?

Nope it needs the connection at the retractor.... Thats why its so hard to find
Have found some seatbelts at E-bay, but I always ask seller, and all the times it is without the connection.
Have looked for seatbelts for a year now, so last night I got sick of it, and bought a pair from Ecklers, and will then try to mount a switch to this...

Yes ssnake oil wants 1600 $, and before I have them here in Denmark its more like 2500 $

The best switch to use would be the ones in your red belt buckles just remove the sleeve and hope the black sleeve fits
