Got the seat belts, so never mind. Found a Mercury Topaz (probably same year but with the SAME INTERIOR COLOR!) literally on top of a giant pile of wrecks at Budget Auto Wrecking in south Kent. Had to climb to the top and crawl into the car, but I came out with the belts. The only one in any wrecking yards I checked.

Mission Accomplished (they're even installed). Now on to used tires (new ones are too much $$$ for the sale price of this car) and some muffler repair. Advice on either would be welcome.
