Need a question answered. I have an early 65 coupe with a silver interior. When I purchased the car some 25 years ago, and the previous owner had dyed the interior black, but did a terrific job. Over the years I have changed the interior back to silver but do not know for certain what color the seatbelt cups were, if in fact they had been used that early. Got any ideas? I noticed Paragon does not list silver cups as being available..........Thank for all replys!

Noland Adams has info here...
in his Complete Corvette Restoration, Vol 2 book.
"At the start of 1965 production, seat belts did not have retractors. Ramdom examples with retractors have been reported up to serial number 105510. But beginning with 105733, most reported retractors on their seat belts.
Another part accompanied the retractor: a molded plastic cup for the retracted belt to sit in. Teh plastic cup was produced in colors to match the interior trim: black, red, blue, silver, green, white or maroon.
At the same time serial number 105733 was built (late December 1964), these cups began to be installed along with the retractors. But some Corvettes in this serial number range did not have cups. [Balance of text omitted]"
So, when you say you have a 'early' car, it's time to start getting specific with respect to VIN when you want info on how the seat belt components should be configured, Joe... -
