Default Missing Washer Fluid reservoir??

Well, I love my newly acquired Z28. Bought it from z28nbr1fan. One thing, there's no washer fluid reservoir. There's nothing there. The wires are there. I can see the hoses under the plastic cowl vent. He's not answering my PM, most likely because He's sold the car to me and had no need to be on this forum anymore. So, I thought I'd ask you guys. Is it possible the car never even came with it??

It came with one from the factory, he removed it. Could be becuase he wanted weight reduction, never used it, took it out during modding and never put it back in, or the car was wrecked and it got crushed. Proboly he just removed it for the hell of it but there are multiple reasons why.

Hmm. Well I guess that confirms that the nose has been off this car for some reason. I also noticed from looking at another Camaro, the foam that you can see after removing the grill insert is gone. Looks like he punched out just that amount of foam. Better airflow to the airbox?? Also, he might've taken the reservoir off to get those pieces out.

Ahh didn't know that. Don't want to replace it. I was just curious. I don't like using washer fluid anyway. Leaves ugly spots and usually ends up on other places than just the windshield. Thanks for the info guys.

Umm I dont' remember. It's pretty straightforward. I had to pull mine out from the bottom though.
