Anyone have matched door locks & keys (2 locks) for my Barracuda? The 65-and-earlier are hard to find and I don’t have a treasury at my disposal for the NOS haha... Thanks!!

Worth looking into, there’s a local guy but I’ll have to ask him; the 65 and earlier locks were REAL hard to rework from what I’ve heard, without damaging the bezel (it was a crimp-sealed design?).
 
The other difficult part of those door lock cylinders is the tailshaft link. They're just kind of riveted on to the aluminum (maybe pot metal is more accurate) body. They wear out easily and it's almost impossible to reattach them once they come off. They're RH and LH too, so, you can't just find a good one in a right door and put it in the left door. I think '65 is unique too IIRC. Don't they have a concave face on the bezel? I think the '64 and earlier ones had a flat face.
