I bought Rustang a few months before the blue Mustang. I didn't get any keys (or floorboards) with the car. I was reading that thread about the sets of Mustangs and thought I'd take a picture of my two 66s.



Then I got the idea to try the blue's keys in Rustang. The door keys didn't match but the ignition keys did. I know there's a limited number of key prints Ford made this year but how many? And what are the odds of finding two matching ignition keys on cars over 40 years later?

Great picture. A little humor goes a long ways. I started the thread on sets of cars on Thanksgiving. Anyway, I don't particularly know about the key matching on the Mustangs but I know I could start my 99 Jeep Cherokee with the ignition key from my 01 GMC Jimmy. Wouldn't unlock the door though.

When you think about it, there are only so many different key codes that can be made with a key, and these older cars don't use as unique systems as newer ones, so it isn't completely impossible you'd end up with the same key for two different cars.

Weren't the doors and ignition matching sets? My 69 key used to start my dads '73 F100, but so did a paper clip after many years. Probably just well worn. Makes a great story anyhow.
