right; it was u.s. law - you couldn't order it that way -here-.  could
it have been a canadian model?  my guess, it has to be export in some
fashion.

" Hello
" I just sold a 70 AMX that never had seats belts period. It had the original 
" carpet in it when I got the car to restore. There were no holes in the carpet to 
" put bolts through. The threaded inserts in the floor pan had plastic plugs in 
" the holes. It was a automatic car with the console there were no magnets on the 
" console to hold the belt after you took it off. There were no clips above the 
" window to hold the shoulder harness if you decided not to use it. The holes in 
" the sail panels had color coded plastic plugs in them. I am sure the car never 
" had seat belts. But in Concourse Judging I had points taken off because they 
" said all AMC's in 70 had seat belts. I had a 70 Javelin that had the clips above 
" the door and the magnets on the console. My question i could the car be ordered 
" without seat belts???
