1966-85 Dodge Mopar Chrysler Plymouth Pentastar Primary Secondary Two Key Blank | eBay
Reproduction of the original style ignition key blank that was used on most 1966-76 Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler models. This key is un-cut and features a "Pentastar" with the words "Chrysler Corporation" Simply take this blank key and your original key to a locksmith and have them cut to fit...

Cruise over to Laval and visit with Nick from Nick's garage. He has original keys for the 69 thru 70s. I think your keys look like these tho.
Here is some info. Chrysler Ignition Keys
Also. I was told by an old key cutter to watch the code stamped on the key A B C letters. I only know enough to confuse.

Most good key-makers can do it if you bring them blanks to use. I always have GOOD copies made, then preserve the originals for making copies from. Good luck. Unless you know that they're knowledgeable, I wouldn't just walk into a Home Depot, etc.
66 and up if you need blanks. They also sell separates if you need just an ignition key.

I use Ace Hardware. Mind you, I order blank keys off eBay. Like you, we got only ONE old brass key when we bought our '66 Newport. The '68 is a little more difficult to kind good key stock for, but I did it, and have had several good ones cut. So long as no Artificial Idiots get involved, and the key cutter isn't too hung-over, you can get a good copy cut.

Any locksmith can cut it but probably wont have the correct blanks.
I learned a long time ago to only have keys cut at a good locksmith. No Home Depot or hardware store.
It doesn't cost any more, but the job is always good. Bring the car (if you can) and go from there.
I had some hardware store type car keys that worked like crap for one car I bought. I took the car and some NOS blanks with me and they cut new keys, not copied the old keys. They work just about perfect.

I agree. THe next time I am close to the local shop I will stop in and se if they have the blanks. The guy has been in business for years and i'm sure he has what is needed to make a new key.

The eBay blanks that Home Depot cut for me work fine.
We don't have a good walk-in locksmith in this town anymore. Just the mobile $75 to show up locksmith. They said there was no store front that cut keys here anymore.

That's why I learned to cut keys myself. Got a machine, key blanks, and the code books at a bankruptcy auction cheap.

'66-up cars have new door locks and ign lock cyls available at reasonable prices.
You need to find a set that is keyed alike, and see what type of key fits.
Last set I got (15+ years ago now) has a fat-plastic grip on it like an 80s car. (but it works)
Look online at your auto parts store and at resto shops.
