[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 17, Issue 134

Tue Oct 22 22:42:48 MDT 2024

John,
Mine is a 1964 also, bought it in 1971.  It came with the original keys
with their codes marked.
>From the BON, Chris's car should have ignition key RM872 and trunk key
FS926 if he wants to go original and
has that great locksmith.  If you google these key numbers I think you can
find the picture showing the different
shape of the two keys and can even order by code number (if you are lucky
and they still have some of that key).
The original owners manual clearly states one key for ignition and doors
and the other for trunk and console.
