Small Area in motor area

[PAULSPEED]

I just was looking at the motor in a V6 car. On the passenger side

looking at the motor there is a small compartment near the left hood line.

There are two factory painted tabs with no weld nuts behind but it

looks like a space for installing a cover plate. I called

it a future stash box for hiding money, keys, etc.

The only thing I could guess was that it was a space for the ABS valves

when a V8 is installed.

Anyone else wonder why they built this compartment?

I am thinking that the tabs are used for holding some

part for the steerable headlights. Here is a picture

of the compartment area.

Sorry I do not own a Panamerica. I was looking at

a friend's car when I noticed the spot.

Maybe I can get one at Rennsport in October.
