If you could make a correct ignition switch and key you may get lucky and find a real locksmith to make your trunk and doors match. As stated hex key for ignition and round for trunk and doors and glove box. I was thinking they used that style right up to 1969 when they put key in the column

« Last post by Loren At 65GS on May 20, 2025, 08:13:39 AM »Hi Guys,
I'm having trouble finding a vendor who can supply an ignition switch and key for my Skylark.
Can anyone suggest where I might find one, or does anyone have a good one for sale?
The one I stripped out of my car is not original and was modified to fit so I'd rather not use it.
Regards
Marcus
If Chuck has the ignition switch, you will still need the lock cylinder. Here is an eBay link that has all the lock cylinders.

It is not 100% correct for '65 because the ignition switch key is only for the ignition. That was correct starting in '66, I believe. In '65, the octagon key was used for the door and ignition and the pear shaped key was used for the trunk and glove box.
