Yep, that's the one. Here's a longer thread on the subject;

I'm taking a wild stab at this but... I am thinking there may have been some re-tooling or production changes at the plants at some point.  Perhaps these were to allow access for a spot welder or other mechanized/manual piece of equipment to reach the inner sheetmetal in order to spot weld something that may have previously been bolted from under the dash near that location (or the other way around) Does it line up with anything under the dash area?

speedo / tach i'd think..

                 that was a good call  (Arigmaster) ,  i had been  thinking the same sort of thing  mine has not got a plug but i have studied   the area behind the fire wall ,     can't see any thing  ..

My holes are better

[Arigmaster]

BWWwahahahaha!!!  Khyron! 

For all we know, some executive needed to put two relatives to work in a real job.... "Okay... "You punch a hole in it here and you put the plug in it." They just needed extra hours the day they did your car.

Could it be for the speedometer cable on a cruise controlled car?

[rt green]

i wonder if they had an update, or something with the wiper transmissiom{linkage} or something. maybe the dealer did it. maybe the seral numbers are close on these cars. or maybe build dates? if theres a bulliton on, it would usally cover a certain few.

 just looked at  the ad in Craigslist for a  69 charger , that (xs29j8Bullitt) posted in the for sale section  , look at this another one....

Oohh...that one has a wire coming out of it too, instead of just a blind plug.

[mikepmcs]

I have that plug in mine too.  No wire coming out though.

Wire looks like it is/was after factory? Looks to be taped near master cylinder.

Khyron , I`ll bet those holes in your cowl were done for a fresh air intake.The cowl is a high pressure area.There was a 66 hemi charger featured in a couple mags a while back that had the same holes.

The rest of the theories ,if it was for tooling to fit through would that not be on the early 68 cars?

[Steve P.]

Khyrons holes look more like they were cut into it for roll bars..  Rather excessive though.

[Ghoste]

Here's another thought, what if it was just a mistake from the stamping plant and some got out before it was caught?  It happens.
