OK- so after searching/reading threads, I undertook the simplest approach- Blasted a bunch of penetrating oil into the keyhole, inserted the key and rattled it around.

Going for paint soon- What trim to replace?

Thanks for the replies. I left the deckled propped open all night, and it fired right up this AM. Water got in there somewhere, just couldn't figure out where. I'm guessing distributor cap?.

GONE XXX FREE to good home- 911 seat cores- Miami

911 seats, have all the hardware in a ziplock. The leather is clearly toast- no switches in the driver's seat (2-way switches), but the motors worked when I hit them with 12V. Came out of my '87.
