I've got two originals which I keep around and only take out for large events. For day to day use I have four keys that I had cut by a local locksmith. They have the black plastic head but aren't as shiney and don't have mazda carved into them.

I've spoken to four local dealers and they all say that while they can cut me a key that will work, official mazda-branded blanks are no longer available. So for $15 they would cut me a key on a generic metal blank, which my locksmith can do for less than $5.

If anyone has a dealer that says they can cut keys on official mazda blanks, tell him I'll give him $20USD ea per blank. I need two and can fax him a copy of my registration and insurance if he wants proof that I'm not using them for malicious purposes.

Three of my four GSLs have the original keys. They make the car, in my opinion, looks and feels just right. If anyone is really hard up for one, I guess I could remove the ignition lock on one of the parts cars.

I have my orig key ( I dont use it though I use a Rotor Key)

Even better than that I still have the Clifford Series III alarm with working remote that was installed in 1983 at the dealership for $595.00..... and it works great!

I still have both original keys for my '81.....but it has since had an unpleasant visit from a GMC Yukon...

I should've taken the lock cores as my '85 cores are a little loose and the little flap that protects the innards is stuck...

Nope, bought almost 2 years ago. They were all metal and the head was round. Since I've gotten new OEM keys from Mazda and have them hand cut.
