well happy now you had your 15 seconds of success ?

That was cool...

 

LOL, i wish it was a front view.

 

Ok so what did the Trooper say to you??? Only cops I've spoke to with the Mav have a ton of questions about the car.

 

No questions at all, but when i was leaving ,all of there eyes were glued to me.

 

don't you have to have the shoulder belt on as well?

 

i think if the car is after a certain year they require it.

 

I don't know about Kentucky but in cali if the car wasn't originally equipt with one then it's not required.

But i highly recomend anyone with just the lap belt to install the shoulder kind, i was in an acident once in my old F250 that just had the lap belt and i had my head smashed into the winshiled .... thankfully it was only a 25MPH crash, so i didn't get hurt, but my windshield did

 

Good Job Justin!!!!

 

Maverick's had shoulder belts

 

Not the early ones....

Are you serious? then whats up with all those early ones that i've seen in person and at the junkyard's with no shoulder belts?

EDIT: i found my own answer, ive seen so many that i literally thought the early ones didnt come with them. I guess people just leave them out.

 

Some didnt come with them, like my car BUT it still has the option

 

My 69.5 had the same belt set up as my current 72. Manual lap and shoulder belts. I love to watch noobys in my car reach for something on the parcel shelf and stop dead in the shoulder harness.
