They probably got mangled up from a theft attempt/recovery or a hack mod so they just filled them over. They all had door locks from the factory.

Hey Logan_S

So here's my two cents You could add Keyless entry to the car "if you have power door locks" and Trunk too if your Trunk button works inside the cabin under the middle vents you can add a keyless trunk release.
It can be done to third gens.
AS LONG as they have working, or you can get them working POWER DOOR LOCKS not Manual.

Keyless Entry <--- Click Here

You can also search Keyless entry for old cars, 3rd gen f-body, 82-92 etc




Hope This helps you

They probably did a remote keyless thing.... I'll bet you'll find some solenoids or something in the door.


Paint job looks old, but it looks like they did a good job covering up the lock hole... probably cut it out and put new metal... you'l lfind out if you look down the window or pop off the door panel
