Where can I find a set of red seat belts for my 65 Convertible SS Chevelle? If there not available, will 1965 Nova seatbelts work (from classic industries)?

If you have belts already then you can have them redone in red by this company.

You could check out the free classified section on this site to find some used ones and have them redone. I am guessing you already checked Groundup, Yearone, Hinshaws, OPG, etc.

They (SnakeOyl) can supply you with the complete assembly. Not cheap but very nice.

I have been looking for deluxe rear belts for over a year. They are very hard to find. Snake-Oyl is a very good option, but one pair of deluxe belts is $250. Cost is $500 for the entire rear seat.

I bought a pair of deluxe front belts on E-Bay. I sent them to Snake-Oyl and they are now converting them to rear belts with new webbing and mounting hardware for $50 a pair. They will even pay you for the retractors.

The cheapest option is to buy a couple of pairs through any parts supplier and mount them. You can always stuff them behind the seat when not in use.
