How to unlock a cuda

[Chryco Psycho]

when I picked up the Barracuda dad had lost the keys long ago. brought out an old school locksmith and for $120 I had a set of door keys. it was pretty cool watching a master at work. he would hand wiggle a tool in the lock mechanism and hand cut the key, took him a few tries and about 20 min. saved me from having to re-key the column too

Best choice , I did this all my life ...
Optional , if you pull the steering wheel & crush can & remove the lock plate there is a small pin to depress & the ign lock will slide out & have a code on it as a second option

Yes, the ignition lock does have the key code stamped on it , I took one to a locksmith and he cut the key in 5 minutes so I can now keep the original satin finish lock rather then having to settle for the polished Taiwanese junk.

Found a key.

I'll post up a barn find for the whole thing when I get a few minutes sometime in the next week.
