These were a timer that would start your gas heater and warm up the car for
you before you left in the morning.  They were a REALLY bad idea, aside from
coming out to a bonfire if something went wrong you always wanted to start
your gas heater with the engine running so the system voltage was high
enough to ignite the gas, the heaters would flood if turned on when the
engine was off.  Oh, there were the folks that used them in the enclosed
garage and filled their houses with CO.

Ive seen A LOT of them over the years, they usually get listed for ungodly
prices but ive yet to see one actually SELL for that.  Keep an eye in the
swaps near the Canadian boarder, those boxes of gauges may have some in
them.  Gas heaters weren't available here in the states so they may be hard
to find once you get far from the markets that had them.
