A security device for an automobile having a floor pan that defines a lower surface of an operators compartment in the automobile. The security mechanism includes a key operated lock assembly that is securely mounted in the floor pan. A first end of the lock assembly is engagable with a manually operated key and is disposed to the interior of the drivers compartment while the second end of the lock assembly is disposed to the exterior of the drivers compartment. The lock assembly includes a locking member which moves between extended and retracted positions in response to manipulation of the key in the lock assembly. In a retracted position, the locking member is disposed to permit normal shifting and conditioning of a shiftable transmission of the automobile. When the key is manually manipulated in the lock assembly to move the locking member to an extended position, the locking member is operably coupled to an endwise moveable controller that conditions the transmission thereby preventing operation of the automobile. |
