Question
I ned a key for a 1970 dodge challenger all I haVE AT THIS POINT IN THE VIN. CAR HAS NOT RAN IN YEARS.NO TITLE FOR CAR. HOW DO I GET A KEY MADE FOR IT

Answer
Kevin,
 If the car doesn't run, why do you need a key..?? Sorry. Parts men humor. I couldn't resist! Now to your question seriously..
  You can attack this in 2 ways. You can take the cylinder out of the vehicle and take it to a locksmith and have him make you a key. I think that would be expensive and totally unnecessary. The second way to go about this problem is just buy a new lock cylinder and key from your local parts store. Below are part numbers and manufacturers. I'm not at work so I can't give you prices but I would think anything listed below should be under $20.00.
  CS90L Borg Warner
They don't list w or w/o Tilt Wheel for some reason.?
   LC24  Sorensen (w/o Tilt Wheel)
   LC26  Sorensen (w/ Tilt Wheel)
   US71L Standard Ignition (w/o Tilt Wheel)
   US96L Standard Ignition (w/ Tilt Wheel)
  I'm an old parts specialist. I have gotten these numbers out of my Catalog Library. If you have any other questions about parts for that car, just let me know. I have parts catalogs that go back into the 1900's for some vehicles. I hope the above information helps. I'm not always a smart alick and please don't take it personal. Thank you for your question.
