Yeah it's wired in? European style outletNot sure what it was used for but it's not factory. That's an old electrical receptical
normally found in houses,buildings etc.
I remember when I was a teen I had an ole Norton commando and it had something similar you could use an electric shaver.Not sure what it was used for but it's not factory. That's an old electrical receptical

I'm thinking the same it's older than the car lolMay have been used for some type of work light?
But that is a female plug, wrong end to put power into the car. Has to be going out. IMO.I'm guessing block heater.
This is an example of them there new fangled stear-e-o jacks all the kids are using to listen to their rock and roll music.
From what I can tell it was wired to the firewall junction, to me it appears as a socket for old lighting or possible 12 volt accessories way back when..........So did we ever find out what it is?
Come on man - I'm loosing sleep over just knowing.

Excellent response, interesting the original owner worked for the sheriffs dept. in Sun City, Arizona. Maybe this was his patrol car and he would plug in the Mayberry roof lights, as he chased the old gangsters in vegas.Looks like this is what plugs into it:
Clipsal connectors
View attachment 1715016414
Clipsal 492/32 DC plug, not wired
In Australia, a T-configuration Clipsal socket is used for extra-low voltage DC power outlets, such as in stand-alone power systems (SAPS) or on boats, in order to prevent accidental connections of 12 V appliances into 240 V socket-outlets.[11] This connector is also used for temporary equipment in emergency vehicles.
The connector pins are mutually perpendicular, and are usually oriented to look like a capital T. In the state of Victoria, the top of the T is taken to look like a minus sign, and has been assigned to negative polarity. In the rest of Australia, the vertical pin is assigned to earth/chassis ground, consistent with Australian Standards for Type I 240 volt outlets; therefore, the top of the T is positive on a negative-earth vehicle. Older positive-earth vehicles are still in service, so actual polarity at the outlet can be random, and must be verified to avoid equipment damage.

I am going to leave it there and use it for Christmas lights, wreath maybe for the grill.Excellent response, interesting the original owner worked for the sheriffs dept. in Sun City, Arizona.
