Those with T-Tops, I need your help!

[True Blue]

A buddy of mine just picked up an 85 GT with T-tops. Problem is the tops are locked and the car didn't come with the keys to unlock them.

By chance, does anyone have the key number 254, which a copy can be made from? Last resort I guess he'll need to get a locksmith, which he would like to avoid.

Thanks in advance!

That sounds like a sweet car. Good luck with finding the keys. Any chance the dealer may sell them? Might be worth a shot.

Some info here.

If anybody has a coffee can full of keys it would be Twister.

Laurence,
Sweet car it is! All original with 40K on it, needs a few little things to be perfect. First call was to Ed regarding the issue with the keys, sadly it's out of his hands.

Rick, much appreciation for the link!

Thanks guys,
Anthony

LoL... I hit up on Dave already last night, no luck.

The options don't appear to be many. A locksmith seems to be the popular reply on a search. Some have said that you can just force the handle down thru the lock. Others that you could just drill out the lock.

I remember in my 87 GT with the t-tops I never even used the locks at all.

A search of some of the bigger parts suppliers for older Mustangs doesn't mention t-top locks, just doors, hatches, gloveboxes and ignition.

The link Rick provided has all the info needed for a qualified locksmith to cut the keys, hopefully!
Lets see what happens.

Thanks guys.

When Fabio called yesterday I'd suggested FEP as potentially a good place for info on that ... nice find by Rick.

As always Ed thank you for your assistance!
