Re: Help! Both sets of keys lost 1970
Breakthrough! I discovered this key in the console of my '93. It's a 70s vintage hardware store key that came with the 1970 when I acquired it in 1990. I think the previous owner used this key as his daily to preserve the originals. What's important is it works in the doors and ignition!
Last fall I placed this key in the console of my '93 before driving to Frisco Regional. I knew Steve Walker would be there and wanted him to read its code so I would have a record of it. Steve said it's so worn he can't reliably read the code so I put it back in the '93 and forgot about it. At the time I kicked myself for not bringing one of the two good sets (I didn't want to risk misplacing them during the show) but now I'm grateful.
I feel like this key fell from heaven- now there's no need to fish around with dental mirrors and/or tear the interior apart. :-) The glove box/spare tire key is a much easier and less urgent problem.
A lesson for all of us: Record your key codes!
