'68 Cutlass Electric Power Trunk
I know that a '68 could have had a vacuum power trunk release. I see this type of electric latch on eBay all the time. Will this bolt in place of the standard manual trunk latch without any mods to the trunk lid?
Thanks,

I do not know for sure but I would think the electric trunk release works for a lot of years from 68 - 70 something. Hopefully someone with a 68 will chime in. though on 2nd look that doesn't look like the one in my 70

I might get one and try my luck.

I got one of the power trunk releases I pictured above. It was almost a direct fit. The slot in my trunk lid had to be "expanded" anout 1/16" for half its width to allow the solenoid part (where you can see the part numbers) to slide in. It bolts in with only two bolts instead of three. I mocked up the wires quickly with a switch and it works perfectly. A very nice upgrade for under $30 parts and supplies.
