    Its a seat belt over ride. It was a 74 only thing. You had to have them buckled to start the car.

    Actually....

    That's The Button - from the presidents office.

    Don't ask how it got in your car, and don't sweat the black helicopters flying over your place.... :D

    It was only a one-year item, and only for the first half of the year (actually, you will only find them on cars manufactured in late 73 and maybe early 74). There is also a yellow (or sometimes green?) box under the dash behind the radio that was supposed to keep the car from starting unless the seatbelts were latched. Mine never worked, and I bypassed and threw away all of those wires and gadgets.
