Default Just bought 80 vette, where can I find a "Car Guard"?

Bought a 1980 vette from a cousin yesterday. Drove it home, stopped at Wal-Mart, bought "The Club".

One of my buddies used to have a similar device on his truck, but it was better because it wrapped around the whole steering column, so as to prevent the possibility of simply cutting the steering wheel.

I think this thing was called a "Car Guard", but I'm not sure. Do any of yall know if that is right? Where can I find this device, or something similar? Didn't see one a Wal-Mart.

Sure am glad I found this forum! This is the place to be for a C-3 owner...

Are you looking for one of those that go around the steering column to prevent access to the ignition lock? Your local auto parts should be able to order one.

:seeya Welcome to the C3 crowd. :cool:

Go with this.... if they want to steal your car they have to get on their knees with their back to anyone coming up on them. They'll look for a car with the club instead. :mad

Nice choice of machinery. I am satisfied with the The Club. I think it works fine as a deterrant.

Thanks for the help guys. I had tried a couple parts stores, didn't have em. Finally found a Pep Boys that did.

But, as it turned out, I instead bought what The Wanderer mentioned.

So I now have a club and that damn break lock. That outta keep it safe...
