If it's a VATS car like an 87 (mine) there are like 11 different resistor values in the keys. I will take up to an hour to find the right one, since the car won't do anything for 5 minutes after the wrong one is tried.
Any good locksmith can make a key. AAA includes making a new key in there service. Find a bud and he can call them and get it done for nothing.

More money than time:
If you search, someone posted a website that had vats blanks for $3.25 each not too long ago. 15 x 3.25 = $48.75 Any locksmith should be able to cut them.
More time than money:
have a lock smith cut a non vats key. Get resistors from radioshack for 30¢ each. 15 x 30¢ = $4.50 Once you find the one that works you can get the key cut with the pellet in it.
