Rear. Here is the Pontonier deluxe: Here is the Pontonier standard: Here is the ends of both: Does anyone have a good picture of the 71 style deluxe buckle? Oddly enough, I have a 71 Dodge 1000 truck here with what I think is those (71) buckles.

One member said his rear buckles were missing, but identical & like in my case, only the front white banded buckles were installed.
I bought the car in 1994 when nobody cared about or hardly knew about these cars, I see no reason as the other member here why they were tampered with, and even found a factory safety hazard warning label that stated 'seat belts loose' still attached to seat belt bolt once rear seat was removed.
The other back-seat-belt-less C15 member here, checking back in.
There is little mystery as to the source of the belts currently in the back seat of my convertible. I put them there. I did it so that my offspring would have belts whilest sitting there. I had no belts back there because they got removed, and the culprit was almost certainly me during the early and foolish part of my three decades of ownership. The back seats were in and out numerous times over the years, to redo upholstery (or at least freshen-up the duct tape), pound on the rear window motors, and sop up the hydraulic fluid spewed out of the broken top lift line. As I write this, it occurs to me and my swiss-cheese memory that I likely removed the belts at a point where they had soaked up a bunch of ATF, intending at the time to clean or replace them (and never did so).
Being good at math and having exactly three children (to my knowledge), that is the number of '71 belts I bolted back there in more recent times.
Question: The back seat of a convertible provides a narrower area for passengers than that of a roofed car. Anyone know for certain the number of belts provided back there by the factory?
Down to just a blue car now.

I am not positive from remembering the cars (more time in the drivers seat ;-)) but the parts book lists two only, and the center or third belt only for A/B/C bodies, however, there are changes as to the body styles in the book (before or during print, not by a parts guy). In my mind that eludes to the possiblity of some early cars having them, or issues with the vert like you say. The problem I always have with the terms "always" or "never" is that with Chrysler, it was never that.

You could also get the ultra rare rear shoulder belts for the two rear passengers, but only on a hardtop car, of course.
If anyone has a pic of these factory rear seat shoulder belts in an E body, I'd LOVE to see it. I have the pic in the Factory Service Manual, but have never seen the real thing. (or even met anyone who has claimed to see the real thing) They are RARE!
(Hey M46, I'm guessing those rear shoulder belts have there own part #. Do you know if ECS makes the tags for those?)

Thanks Dwight! Ebodyseast, this may have already been posted earlier, but if not, here's some info... That round seat belt light up by the instrument cluster in your pics if I recall correctly, is found on 72, 73, 74 E bodies, barracudas & challengers, and should be on all of them, standard & rallye dash, because the seat belt light became mandatory.

I was going to make a new post, but thought this was a good place for this. Going through the boxes of Pontonier belts I have here, I came across this (Pontonier stamped on metal) but it has no tag on it. Could this be the E body convertible shoulder belt!!??

I am not sure, the "move for exit" sticker seemed really odd though...
