weird lock
 

Hey guys I'm new here, and I've got an unusual question. On the pass. side front fender, under the antenna on the side, is a lock that looks like it takes a coke machine key. I've breifly checked, and it doesn't lock the hood, but it's the strangest thing I've ever seen. Would anyone know what this is?

Quick guess, you have a keyed alarm system. I used to do something like that, but I'd always put the switch way down low on the fender. Check inside and see if it doesn't have a couple of connectors for wires.

I think you are right, because I recently found an alarm horn in the trunk, strange place to put one huh? thanks for your help.

Definitely a keyed alarm switch. Kind of in a lousy location though. It's gonna take some welding to hide that hole.
