How Rare is my Car???
How rare is an 1988 camaro without a trunk release? All the camaros of firebirds I know of had a hatch release from 88 and on? Help me figure this out. Mabey they came on the early 88 F-bodies without the release. I dont know. Im sure someone out there does.

My 82 trans am is much rarer then, it has a power trunk release button and rear defogger and a way to unlock it with a key, and if none of this works I just break the window to get into the trunk

Probably not rare at all. Most base models where strippers with hardlly any options. My friend just picked up an '88 IROC-Z with no power windows, locks, mirrors, or rear trunk release. Remember, back then people actually had a choice of what options they wanted or could afford to pay, not like today when a bunch of options are forced onto you and the base price is $25,000+.

Alright I just thought it was weird that I had every power option except for trunk release. And it was an 88 Iroc. But I guess GM can be cheap every once in a while.

My '73 T/A is pretty basic with standard interior and no A/C but the original owner ordered it with power windows and tilt wheel. They look out of place on an otherwise no option car.
