This car in question, is a NOV 1981 build date. The strap is hidden in an area, that you could only see, when the frame is dropped from the body as is the case here. Does anyone have any information what this strap was/is used for? >>>>>>> Sounds like a battery hold-down strap! How did it get outside the battery compartment?
