well kinda Factory Part - just not from the factory installed -

in a 70 cuda I had in the back seat, drivers side, mounted on the upper floor pan
just under the rear seat. Had a trunk/hood latch. Pull to unlock the latch of the rear trunk Lid.
It did have a key type lock in the tail panel - just wasnt hooked up.

was a good Idea - one thing it had to be pushed back by hand after you pulled ( had no spring )
also had no Handle - was a small vise grip tool locked on it...

I'll add some:

After market Kenwood stereo and speakers with blu-tooth to the cellphone, but the engine and exhaust is kinda loud to talk on the phone.

I added a factory rear swaybar back in the early 90s. And converted the front drum brakes using all Mopar parts per the old Mopar Action Disc-o-Tech article.

I have an aluminum radiator (the one that's all boxy looking before they started stamping the fancy tanks). I also added a thermostat housing with the O-ring and replaced the big block cast iron water pump housing with an aluminum one from Koller Dodge also in the early 90s.

Side note: Does just about everyone have a big block cast iron water pump housing (or two or three) lying around their garage shop? I have three that I know of.
 
I don't have a picture but my car had the 80's "Chapman Lock" anti theft system installed. The locking part was under hood that slid into an L'bracket once the push button with key release under the dash next to the hood release was depressed. These images I found online, not from my car but exactly what I used to have.
