My first car in the late 60=E2=80=99s was a 1958 MGA. I installed a =
pushbutton switch in line with the ignition switch on the floor under =
the carpet by the clutch. I was able to switch it on and off very =
conveniently with my foot without anybody noticing.

My father purchased a used '62 Corvette in the late 60's. He worked in =
the insurance industry & he heard that 90% of all Corvettes were stollen =
sometime in their lives, in Chicago, where we lived. His solution was to =
install a manual shut off valve in the fuel line. The valve was hidden =
behind the drivers seat & operated by a "T" shaped handle which was =
removable. His theory was that if someone broke in thru the canvas top & =
hot wired the ignition, they would only get a block or 2 before the =
engine would die. The crook would panic & run away.
