'66 Coupe - opening trunk without key

May 21, 2004 2 Replies

Okay, I lost the key and am prepared to go in through the back seat. Is there any trick to popping the trunk, or do I just unbolt the lock? Thanks in advance.........


You need a flashlight and a pair of pliers. There will be a little tab poking through the release. Grab it with the pliers and turn counter-clockwise.

I didn't have a needlenose strong enough to grab the tab, but your reply got me motivated enough to go out there and unbolt the bottom bracket. My hope was to find the keys laying in there with the other junk............ No luck... She's been on blocks for years, but now I can clean her out and send her to a new home...
