This has an interesting gizmo on the dash … looks similar to a tv remote. Possible a security addition?

“Titled as a 1958 Jeep. Has an excellent condition complete fiberglass body so no rust anywhere. It has a rebuilt SBC 283 with power pack heads out of a 58 Corvette with a brand new Edlebrock carb. It also has a Muncie 4 speed with all new clutch assembly. The tires are brand new with only about 10 miles on them. The top is in excellent shape with all good windows. The interior has all new carpet and new seats with new seatbelts along with a overhead console with an under dash stereo holder mounted to it and interior light. I have not had this Jeep vey long but have dumped a ton of money in it. I would like to find a Model A pickup so me and my dad could restore 1 more before he cant do it anymore. $9500.”
