1969 Camaro Trunk Lid Question

[HiHorse]

Is there a difference between the 67, 68, 69 Camaro trunk lids? I know they interchange but are they identical?

[BARNFOUND YENKO]

No, If im not mistaken something is different on the backside of it.

[Salvatore]

Don't the 68 and 9's have the wholes for the spoiler studs underneath?

[Nova Jed]

Not the repro lids or originals. They had to be drilled into the lid to mount the spoiler. I agree with Barnfound. I think that the underskin is a little different.

[ssl78]

The shapes of the openings on the back side are different and the date codes are in different places.

[Nova Jed]

That's what I thought. Thanks for the info.

[Charley Lillard]

I think there are something like 3 different 68-69's and the 67's had different trunk emblems so the holes are different.

Can you be more specific about the openings? are all different? Where is the date code located on the 69?

Here is a '67 decklid. Only had holes in teh underframe to mount the emblem, none for the spoiler.

This is off the top of my head, so it might not be exact and I can't remember the third 67 variation:

67 - no emblem holes
- with emblem holes
68 - spoiler access holes
69 - " "
- with tabs around outside
- no tabs

There was a great article in Muscle Car Review that showed the differences in the 3 '69 trunk lids. Brian Henderson provided the information for this article. If I remember correctly it was about restoration mistakes for '69 Camaros. I can try to dig up the article and scan it if anyone is interested.

Late 67 trunk lids did have spoiler access holes. I know July cars did and I believe June as well.

Here is my May 67 z/28 lid:

did they use a different lid if you ordered a luggage rack?

[Seattle Sam]

I believe the luggage rack was a dealer add-on, so the decklid would have been the same.
