The trunk area is another item that people don't really notice. the two eras have been blended (different pans) but coexist. The surface has been painted the original trunk spatter paint but is carpeted on the top portion. The main difference is the location of the fuel tank / the 1969 fuel tank was located under the trunk pan / the 1986 tank is located ahead of the rear differnetial / this camaro has the 1986 version/ tank in front of diff. One neat feature is the tank itself; the IROC with fuel injection offers a high volume fuel pump (in tank) / this mechanism transferred to the 1969; a fuel regulator now resides under the hood to dial the pressure down. If the next owner ever decides to run nitrous / the regulator contains several extra fuel ports to make that happen.
One minor detail / look close at the photos / the 69 camaro had taped wiring running into the trunk compartment / the 86 had the newer plastic loomed wiring. This car has plastic loomed wiring and the detail shot shows my favorite part of the car. That simple GM connector with ground wire attached to inner fender lip. I just think that section of the car is neat (call me wierd).
