Is there a way to get keys made for a car with lost keys? I'm considering buying a car in such a state. Thanks
Is it a big block car?It’s a 75 Cordoba. It’s a legit deal. It was the guys parents car. They have passed. Just wants rid of the thing. Thanks for all the input. I forgot door the ignition were the same.
Its just as easy and cost effective to buy a lock set and replace all of them. I have modified tumblers before, the problem is the tumbler covers are swaged in so its hard to get them apart. A locksmith can make a key for a lock without removing the lock but I would guess the end cost will be close to what a new lock set would cost. If that has tilt steering it may be hard to find a ignition lock because they are different and im not sure if that is repopped.
Post #9What year is the car? It makes a difference on the answer.
Amen, brother. I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard somebody say, or heard somebody tell me that somebody said, “just put a battery (or starter…) in it, and it’ll start up fine.” If it would do that, the person selling the car would pop a battery (or starter) into it. Unless I can hear an engine run, I assume it has to be rebuilt.And be sure to factor that ‘hassle factor’ into the price you’re willing to pay. If it were such a simple job, the seller should be able to do that on his own time/dime.
Some people will not like this, but I have done this several times. Drill the lock cylinder out. Yes it may seem a bit extreme, but it has always worked for me. When the center of the lock cylinder is gone, the trunk will open easily.Is there a way to open the trunk on a fastback barracuda without a key?
