I have actually asked the question about seat belts to a cop before. He told me that they can and sometimes do issue tickets to people in "old cars" for not having the seat belts (shoulder belts) on.
If the car has the shoulder harness in the car then it is required to be worn. NOT just the lap belt, but the lap belt AND the shoulder harness.
He did say it was at the discretion of the officer, but if they are income generation mode I believe they would write you up. The argument is that the car did not have shoulder belts when they were new. Their response argument is "it is a replica, the car did not exist, in 1965". If you raise too much hell about that they will harass you about the registration of the car.
We all know what happen to Paul Cass, and the harassment he had with his car about the registration.
