Scott, where is this seatbelt warning light I've been reading about? I don't know 2nd gen's very well but I get the impression that 70 cars didn't have it but 71 on up did? So that would make this dash/gauge panel not an original 70 panel, correct? Always looking to learn.

I believe that GM seat belt warning lights were first seen in 1972.

u can see the red lens of it in the one pic of the dash pad kinda above the ash tray area.

Fasten seat belt started in 1973.

The car looks so familiar. If it's the car I am thinking of there are a few things wrong with the car but still a nice real Z. I'm not sure but if this is the same car I think it has Canadian documentation as well.

I'll find out more tomorrow.

I think I have it in my '72 Nova SS.
Or maybe it is just a seat belt buzzer?
I have to look on the build sheet.

I was right, I know this car and have good knowledge of it. Anyone interested PM me. I took pictures of this car and a have few saved.

I remember having to replace this panel and many other parts when an ex wife wrecked a 1970-1/2 Z/28 I had years ago. I remember that GM superceded the replacement part to the later panel with the warning light. If I remember right 1973 or 1974 was the first year that you had to fasten the seat belts to let the car start.
