OK humor me.....
So I haven't had my Vette a week yet and I was showing it off to some friends tonight. One of them says "So if it doesn't have a trunk then what's that keyhole for?" He points at the keyhole above the corvette lettering on the tail of the car. And honestly I have no idea...none of my keys will fit. Crawling under the back and looking up doesn't give any hints either. No mention in the owners manual. So I'm stumped... What's that keyhole for?

Here are some other helpful hints for a new corvette owner.
The battery is in the compartment behind the drivers seat.
The tire jack should be under the compartment behind the passenger seat.
The manual headlight actuator is one of the ***** under the dash, below the steering wheel. The other **** should be your tripometer reset.
And no, the clocks dont work. ( at least most of them dont.)

My 72 has a big **** for the wiper door. My 73 and 75 do not have the wiper door, so the **** is not there.

Key hole
On My 73 the alarm does not work, and who would give a Rodents Rectum it it did and was beeping. I use the switch as a kill switch to ground the ignition.
Seems like a much better use to me. Most crooks would not think about that. (now that I let the cat out of the bag, I will need to do something else).

I used a kill switch that was spliced in AFTER a fuse holder. If someone tried to start the car the fuse would blow, then even if they found your switch the fuse would need to be replaced too.
