I found the This listing for what is listed to be a trunk handle for an original GT.

In the photo,it just looks like a stupid handle mounted to the trunk floor for no apparent reason.

What's it for?,maybe to help the Big Show to turn the car over?

Any one know it's real purpose?

Just Axin'

I think they were used on older VW back seats as well.

Used to strap down the spare tire since there was no room left in the front trunk.
