lol, i just meant i have heard a few people say that they had those keys, and they were original as far as they knew.

 

I will point out one thing, when you are 17 you don't know anything for a fact, you just think you do.

 

yeah, i def thought i did. just threw everything i "knew" for a fact out the window yesterday. the world is round, i never knew that.

 

I have a 1965 Mustang with a 200 c.i. and was thinking about dropping a 289 in, and was wondering how much of a hassle that would be.

 

It is unbelievable what a set of key started..to add to the mess I purchase my 66 from the original owner and he had the original Pony's keys..however I previously own a 69 a 70 and a 68 Bronco and all the keys were the V tipe.. [sm=interesting.gif]

 

Just because im 17, doesn't mean i dont know any thing for a fact. I know alot of stuff. I dont think i know EVERYTHING, but i know alot. im not just a regulator 17 year old punk. so dont try and get smart with me like that.

 

i know for a fact...that im 18, and this is just a guess but i know that different manufacturing plants use different parts than an other...maybe if you guys with the oem keys comapred them and your vins, that maybe the keys varried from plant to plant....just a kids guess though

 

That is a good idea. My car came from the Dearborn plant. Those of you with the V-shaped keys, which plant did you cars come from?

 

FYI, NPD sells NOS 65-66 Pony keys for the trunk and locks/ign. 1.95 each

I would venture to GUESS that both key types were available since I have an original V style FORD set with my 65. Maybe one or both came from the factory and maybe the dealer cut one type b/f the car was sold. I never bought a new car that only came with one set. In fact, the Ford Taurus (company car) I had had two sets. One was more aesthetically pleasing to the eye while the back up was just plain metal, nothing fancy.

 

One thing, for those posting pictures of keys, that's a REALLY bad idea.

It's downright trivial to cut a key from a picture, if you know what you're doing. You see people fuzzing out their plate numbers, I'd think this is the same deal.
