I didn't realize it was such a big deal to still have the original keys. Now that I think about it, it has been 20 some odd years, and that is a long *** time to have one or two keys.

Im glad you found your keys. I have been too broke to stop by the dealer and see whats up on the key issue. Just using my spare until I get some cash.

I have all 3 keys...the original 2 black keys, and the one long skinny Mazda key that came in the complimentary lockout prevention case. Fits in your wallet cuz its so thin. YAY me, gotta love cars from the family.

My car got broken into and stolen.
Any mazda key would open my doors and then they used a massive hammer and a massive screwdriver and busted my ignition barrel.
So we ended up replacing the doors locks with solex locks. I kept the keys, which aren't original btw. Just for sentimental values.

I thought I had one of the original keys since it had "MAZDA" stamped on it, but I guess not. It has no round or plastic head. Maybe it's the skinny "complimentary lockout key" Cowboyfun mentioned?

I have the orignal key for both my 84 gsl and my '79. Also I have the original key chain for the '79 with the mazda rotor symbol on the front and a mailing address on the back.

Did you buy it new? If not I suspect that someone replaced the ignition switch from a donor car.
