Default 72 Corvette Keys - Help . . .



I have 3 keys for my 1972 . . . one (rectangle) works the ignition and doors, one (round) works the alarm and the other works nothing. How many keys did the car originally come with and what should the round keys work? Thanks.

Default Don't forget the spare tire lock

I believe the round head key also unlocked the spare tire lock.

You can have the spare tire lock and the glove box lock keyed to match your alarm key by any competent locksmith. You only need two keys as the others have already said.
