The Spare Tire Lock was a Dealer installed option (P/N 987048), and cost a whopping $6.65 in 1968. The only picture I happen to have of one is from Frank Incremona and Dr. Dobbin's book, "Camaro, 1967-1969 Fact Book" (see below).

It's interesting to note that the option cost $4.20 in my 1971 Price Schedule (P&A 26), so somewhere along the line the price dropped! If only that would happen today!!!

Also note the 2 containers of "Liquid Tire Chain" in the picture!

Hope this helps...

Why would you need that anyway? Seems like it would be alot of trouble to pry the trunk open back then just to get at a spare tire that may or may not even be in the trunk.
