Title: Key Blanks for 1968 Shelbys
Post by: 8T03S1425 on July 29, 2025, 03:08:44 PM
I'm searching for NOS, or best looking reproduction, key blanks for my 02/14/1968 built Shelby. I'm being specific regarding the date because in my search I read that the early car keys had a simple round hole and later keys had elongated holes. (See below)

Did the early keys and the late keys have the Ford logo on one side and the, "FAMILY OF FINE CARS" motto, in all caps, on the other?

Both styles seem to be readily available.

Long hole is the 70's. Get the style with the small hole. Readily available on Ebay or secondary market.
