Sorted through extra stuff and found four, but either with burned or missing lenses.  Sorry I can't help.

Thanks Bob - not going to be easy to reproduce that lens. Looks like the 66 version would be much easier

They are typically concave and distorted from getting over heated by the bulb. It is hard to find a near perfect one. :'(

Good afternoon sir,

I follow you all quit a while, but this is my first post.
I own a fastback '67 GTA, (built in San Jose - 01/12/67)
VIN : 7R02C70xxx
DSO : 3503
The entire interior is stripped down, so if you want other pictures, just ask.
I live in Europe, so there are not many concourse meetings, so I do not know very much about a concourse correct car.
I am only planning to restore it as good as it can, because it is not that easy to get parts over here...
I can only provide pictures of what I have.
Hope this picture is what you asked for.
Kind regards,

Jeroen

You are right....tough to get a good shot.  Here's the best I could do.

Looks like white text on the outside of the lens?  Mine has black text behind the lens. ???

They are typically concave and distorted from getting over heated by the bulb. It is hard to find a near perfect one. :'(

Guessing mine is about as perfect as they come short of NOS.  Probably should replace the bulb with an LED to help preserve it.   ;)

Looks like the lens is in nice shape...

Anyone know how the light comes apart to get to the bulb?  I'm not near the car to check at the moment.

Attached from inside so its a pain and easy to mess one up trying to get it out.  Got someone trying to do that right now after they rechromed the frame

Since there are at least two known SEATBELT lights (on the cars W/O the Convenience Control Panels)
Can we determine "correctness" since there are those that are backlit with black SEATBELT (all one word)
and there is at least another SEATBELT light with white letters on the lens but I believe there is a third with two words SEAT BELT, can anybody confirm? Maybe with build information too?

This would be for establishing "correctness" on the independant SEATBELT or SEAT BELT light that mounts on the dashboard, below the ignition switch.
