Getting a new key made

[X77-69z28]

Has anyone had a key made for our cars? I was lucky enough to get the key number from the selling dealer.

I just went to a key shop with my key and he made me a copy.
it was not a problem.

Thanks, so it's not chipped or anything. Probably should have asked about the fob too! My car only came with one fob and key.

To piggyback on this thread... can I get a switchblade key made? My knee is nowhere near the ignition and for non track driving I wouldn't mind having the switchblade or am I SOL?

You can covert it back to a switchblade very easily. Lots of threads on the site about it.

I gently put the key portion in a vice, twisted the black handle a few times with pliers. It quickly released from the key. Place blade back in fob and insert roll pin.

All done.

How to remake the switchblade: The key from Chevy has the end of the switchblade embedded n plastic. Take a torch, make he plastic taffy, pull it off.Open the switchblade end, stick the key end in it, then use line .010 or 3/16" long piece of piano wire and channel locks to jam the wire down into the hole where the piano wire acts as a roll pin/lock. Takes 5-10 minutes max per key..easy.

I owned a 69 CAMARO in 69 and it also was barnish brown & champane gold. I never saw the same color combination here in San Diego. What I understood it was a special order color. My CAMARO was build at the Los Angeles plant. Can you post a picture of your 69.

Thanks

Went to the local Chevy dealer today with my key code. Parts guy gets two keys and a fob. He said he would cut one for the recall, and an extra one that I wanted. He showed me where the roll pin. Should be knocked out to remove the switchblade, and cut that one too!!

SUCCESS!!! Got out to my summer house where the Z is stored. Programmed the 3 new keys in less than a minute!
