Good morning gents , just purchased a 72 Newyorker and a 73 fury . I had to grab them before some non C-body person got to them , They have been sitting for 25 years and of course no keys! My question is is that i have the original dealer invoices for these cars .The new yorker has the key codes on the invoice the fury does not. Can i get the keys cut for the New yorker cut from a lock smith with the codes? I have to get them on dollies just to get them on a flat bed without . The fury is eay to load but the newyorker is in the corner of the garage anf it would be a heck of alot easier if i could steer it out ! I have to move thses after the big snow we are having today and tomorrow so Tuesdays the day any advice would help. I have 4 c bodies so i dont know what im going to do with these .The newyorker is near mint only option is A/C has a 440 sure grip 99000 miles and is straight as an arrow . The fury has quarter rust and some dents and has a 360 with A/C . Im hauling these out of NYC . The C-body disease is alive and well in me!

Remove the the door lock tumbler from door, it is awkward but can be done. Then take the tumbler to lock smith to have key cut. Have you looked all over the car for a hidden key? Small magnetic box behind bumpers, fenders etc.
I have found key boxes while working on cars I have owned many years later.
Great looking cars. Please keep us informed of your progress and the cars.
 
That concrete floor looks to be in decent condition.
I would bet the black beauty rolls around easy enough after you disconnect the shift rod and put your dollies under the front. Three people should be enough muscle.
 
Congrats @straightjob -- glad to know that those cars are in your good hands.

When you have a chance to post the fender tags and initial order sheets, could you please do so? Look forward to hearing more about them.
 
Awesome cars and a great price.
Makes me sad for buying a parts car with most of it gone, for way more than that price.
Can't wait to see more pics and follow along.
Especially curious to see all the factory documents including the key code. Makes me very curious of that subject.
