This is the story as I understand it The car came from the east coast. The OE lock (ignition switch) had a problem? It was replaced at some point in time, while the car was being stored here in Alaska some kids stole the key to the car and it is lost. The owner bought a lock assymbley from a person on the east coast. We have that part here, I haven't been involved with the car to much ,except for the last few days as I am trying to buy the car and would like to drive it before handing the guy a check. The Mech is in over his head on this car and would like for it to go away soon, so we are looking for a reasonable solution, to this problem.
