Viper Responder 2 Way. The keychain remote works from quite a distance. I've been up to 1/4 mile away and been able to arm and disarm. So if im in the store and the alarm goes off, my keychain beeps. I put the blue flashing LED in clear view on top of the inst dash. You can see it flashing from across the parking lot. It tells thieves, unless you want a hell of a racket and light show, you better move on.

At home the car is in a locked alarmed garage as well.

Couldn't agree more. However, if someone breaks my all original, perfectly good functioning ash tray...that's a completely different story. Someone will get a beat down. I'm one on 3 foxbodies still left with an unmolested ash tray. Game over.

If you want to ensure your fox will not be stolen try installing a DIY turbo setup


Your car will never leave your garage so there won't be any worries about people stealing it.


or you can try my other trick, I had a car cover made to look like a 4 eye mustang. When I park i just throw that over the car and no one shows any intrest

Guys,

I've been following this thread as I like to leave my ttops off so there is nothing really stopping someone from getting in my car.

I like the idea of a kill switch at the fuel pump relay, but instead of a switch can I use a blade fuse holder?

Thanks!

I just shaved the door handles and set my ecu to the "don't run" tune and take my switch with me.
My only worry is the car is a convertible and this is sitting in the back seat.

With that in the back seat you're asking to have it broken into. All the switches in the world may stop it from being driven away, by not before they slash your top to try. Leave nothing in sight, especially in a convertible.

Mehh.... they can "try" all they like won't get any of the important stuff, it's all lag bolted down all the speakers are thru bolted and plated on the back side all the amps are under the box.
If they want the car bad enough they will just pull it up on a trailer, no kill switch can prevent that.
Unless of course I catch them in the act, then they can conversate with my 45
