Has anyone seen one of these? Any idea what this would have came off of ?
Power Trunk release

It does look a little different than what I am used to seeing. Pretty common on the loaded up C-Bodies. They can fit lots of other mopars.

If it's Mopar, it must be older. The newer ones from the 80's cars look like this.
And mod 70’s
70 b body and possibly 68/69 used vaccum operated trunk release but lock mechanism is def a Mopar

The pictured electric lock/latch/bracket assembly, part number 2486614, is for a 1964 - 1966 Imperial.
The following diagram shows the assembly installation:
Well done.
Please show us on the factory literature where this option was available on a 68-70 B-body.
Also show the switch and where it is mounted.
Like to learn more about this feature.

I have used the vacuum ones before. They require a vacuum reservoir can, as well as the vacuum latch assembly. I mounted the switch inside the glove box.

The Chrysler Fifth Avenue luxury cars of the 80s came with these.
Later model front wheel drive cars came with the electric ones too, though I've never trial fitted them to a classic to see if they work. The cool thing about these things is that they still allow a key to work to open the trunk if the electric latch fails or the battery is dead.

To reduce an argument I’ve seen at the Nats a 70 GTX that had a unit and the switch mounted under dash by ash tray underneath
