won't turn without "a" key just doesn't have to be the exact key. I
guess you could call it Semi-safe. Then again a 67 does not have a
steering lock or anything else that would preclude the typical
hot-wiring.

Boy, that's scary!  It's possible that some PO took the lock apart for 
some reason (lost the key, maybe), and removed all the tumblers.  I hope
you have a hidden kill switch.

The '68 I owned in high school could be started with a dime, but that 
was in a "kinder, gentler time".   My fiends had a ball though.  At 
least once a week I had to come out of school and hunt for my car.
