    SWEET!

    I had one of those. How I miss that car. I had the green with the 363 auto. I still kick my self for being young and dumb when I sold it for 1000 just because the rear end was going out. Stupid easy fix.

    I had the 440 Magnum 6-pack, never saw a gas station it didn't like with a 4 speed Hurst shifter.....

    Sold it to a friend and told him to not race it as I sold the Cragar SST's separately and put crappy rims on the car. Dumb ass raced it 1st weekend and totaled it around a tree. MORON

    Miss that car, it was not in the best shape.

    Take a look @ this `1970 with similar setup for $150K!!! Mine was not the limited edition.....

    There are some shady people that work at some of the dealerships...takes them all of 2 seconds to get your home and work address from their system, and with your vin number, they can get a legit key cut with the chip inside programed to your vehicle.

    Find the "ignition wire" at the fuse block--there should be a FUSE. Splice the wire to an ON/OFF switch.
    I did look in TW manuals --they just have older autos--you can do a search for the wiring of your truck--should tell you color and location. put the switch in a NON VISIBLE location
    Should be simple install---GET a GOOD switch --Electronic supply should have them. Just ask a sales person.

    LEER Shell with dome lights operated with 3 way switches, aux backup lights with relay and 3 position switch, modified wiring to compass/temp display and clock to include switch that disables dimming function (poor man's DRL solution), Scan Gauge 2
    Bumping an old thread, but something I have always wanted to do is wire up a starter kill switch, but with a twist. A starter kill isn't that hard to defeat, you can bypass it from under the hood, but what if that same switch changed the function of the "start" position on the keyswitch to activate the horn and lock it on?:D Find a way to lock the hood so they can't get to the battery easily to stop the horn, I think they'd leave at that point, unless they've got balls of steel.
