1979 Key Style

[Tom G.]

I have read the Operations section of the Third Edition of the 1978-1979 Tech Info Manual & Judging Guide, and searched the Technical and Archived Forums. I have been unable to determine whether the 1979 square and oval headed keys, as delivered with the car, are black plastic coated or not. I purchased the car from the original owner a number of years ago and am no longer able to contact him to ask him about the keys. Any assistance is appreciated.

I don't believe the 79 keys had the black covers on the heads.

Thank you for your response Tom!

Re: 1979 Key Style

I believe my keys are original and they don't have the black covers.

Re: 1979 Key Style

Thanks Jerimiah. That seems to be the consensus of opinion. It makes me wonder what the original owner did with the keys. Unfortunately, he moved and I no longer am able to contact him.

If you need original style keys, they are available. I probably have the blanks here at the dealership. Let me know what letters you need and I'll check.
