I was a bad boy and got busted . Any of you Illinois folks know
whether or not points come off your license for no seat belt?...

As a  former Illinoisan, all I can say is I'm pretty sure they don't. They are not considered a moving violation.  On a side note, do you actually have a '69 model J? I had one of those in the early nineties and with the exception of my '71 Buick Riv' it was always one of my favorite cars from that era of long nose, short decklid style cars.

Thanks for the information. My sportbike insurance is comin up, and I don't need any points . As for the 69 model J, no, the one in the avatar isn't mine. I wish it was. I did in the past tho own two '72 Js,
and one '71 J. All 3 had 400 4 bbl. and automatic. I never could find a nice 69 or 70 that anyone was ever willing to let go. I agree, the long nose/short deck GP was a handsome car. The 400s of that era were torque monsters.

I bought a 69 firebird HO350 in 70, still got it. I found a J with the big engine and a for sale sign but the guy that answered said he already sold it and wished the dork that bought it would take off the sign.
