69 Camaro Convertible canisters
A friend of mine has a 69 Camaro Convertible Pace car which has a canister on each side of the truck near the fender well. Nothing is hooked to either can, they are mounted upright,about 5" dia x 8" tall. Does anyone know what these would be for, thanks Ken

Re: 69 Camaro Convertible canisters
Thats option N38-Factory Nitrous. j/k...
 Actually all convertibles had these, often referred to as "cocktail shakers", they were basically a liquid filled can installed in each rear 1/4 panel for ballast.

In addition to the two in the trunk, there should one in each front fender behind the headlight.

Re: 69 Camaro Convertible canisters
Inside each canister is a 25 pound weight that is spring loaded and surrounded in automatic transmission fluid. It acts as a dampener for body vibrations...and to slow the car down due to the 100 extra pounds of weight. -NJSteve
