    73 Challenger interior
    « on: October 19, 2019 - 01:01:26 PM »
    New member and first post. I have a 73 Challenger. Putchased new by me at age 18 so a one owner car. The interesting thing and am wondering if anyone else has run across this. The car was built in July and has a 74 interior in it. Obviously being the only owner, there is no doubt it was not changed by anyone

    Did the 74 have the pressure seat starter delay thingy?

    Yes according to this article the front seat did have the no start interlock switch in the seat to prevent starting.

    Just in time for the 1974 models was the federally mandated “interlock passenger restraint system” that prevented the car from being started until the front seatbelts were secured; a weight-sensitive electric switch in the seat determined which belts needed fastening. From the article
