Seeking Trunk Lock and Key - Found One!!!

[CudamanTom]

I'm in need of a trunk lock and key for my 71 cuda. Not sure if different years were compatible.
Please let me know if you have one to get rid of.

Thank you in advance.

1970-73 were all the same, 74 was different. Has to be Cuda as Challenger are different.

Be careful buying one cause you need the lever on the end that most do not have. A lot on EBay "say" they fit Cuda but they won't.

That's on my list as well. I need one also if you have any luck finding a reasonably prices new one.

Thanks for the info Alan. Good to know right there. 

And funny thing I ran into the other day.
Going thru my old tool box looking for something, I ran into a spare lever (like the one you have pictured) AND the clip to hold the bar to it. I couldn't believe it. I don't remember having that but had to of been back when I had my 70 Cuda Vert 10 years ago. There is a reason I don't throw things away I guess.

And I noticed alot on ebay that will not work. Different design and stuff.
Thank you for bringing that up for others looking in the future.

Well I just found these.
Looks to be correct and not too bad on the price.

From your link above. It's an or best offer ad. It rejected my first offer of $35 automatically but accepted $39.

Cool deal. I think that's a good price since they are NOS.
