We can't find the key to a 1967-1969 Malibu
Trying to help my Mom and Grandmother figure this out but My Great Grandmother owned a Chevy Malibu that is just sitting in our garage collecting dust. If anyone can give me info on how to find out the year. Yes, my grandmother lost the pink slip. I looked online today on the DMV about that but it wants the Car ID? I can get the licenes plate number and the make of the car but where do I find that out. The car is also of coursed locked. So if anyone can provide me any info to help us along I would greatly appreciate it. I am not a car guy so I am just as bad as them. All I know is a lot of my friends and neighbors always ask about it. For me it's memories. It hasn't been run in over 7 years I think. She was the original owner and nobody else drove it.
I read online that you should go to a Chevy dealer others said any locksmith. I want it done right but could a Chevy dealer still do that since it's so old. Also it doesn't run. well it hasn't been run so it shouldn't start. LOL I need a Car Guy Friend I am seeing from this post.

I'd use the services of a locksmith over the dealership. For one thing, they'll come to you. Secondly, they're more likely to have experience with an older car. Thirdly, they're better equiped to handle your exact needs.
I had a 69 Malibu and IIRC there is a number on the ignition switch cylinder that has a key code. So, I think what would be required is to slim jim the door. Use something like a master key to pull the lock cylinder. Make a key to the key code. Done!
