Any way to add something that prevents the car from starting if the seat belt isn't buckled? 200 1980

As an alternative, you can find a 1974 140. I have one, and the starter won't kick in unless I fasten the seat belt. If I undo it after the engine has started, the buzzer will sound and fasten seatbelt sign flash whenever I put it in gears 1-4 (doesn't happen in neutral or revers). If I leave the seatbelt in permanently, it will start the first time but not subsequently - don't ask me how it works. It's a real pain in the butt because I mainly drive the car in and out of the garage while working on it, but at the same time quite fun to have this unique feature.
