I've lost the keys to my car?

I have a nice old XC falcon sitting around, and I have lost the keys for it, I want to sell it, or at least be able to start it every now and then to keep things fresh.
Does anyone know what my options are, can I get keys cut to the locks (door, ignition seperate keys, and maybee the boot and petty cap separate too?)
or do I have to get new locks on the whole car and get a new ignition?
Thanks heaps for any help.

the door locks and boot locks are different on the XC. if you want to start the car remove the door lock from the door. take it to a locksmith who makes keys. (btw. not all locksmiths do it) and they can make a key dor the doors and ignition. the boot wont open with that key as the profile is opposite to the door and ignition. at least you will be able to open and start it.you will have to go thru the back seat to the boot and try to open it to remove the lock and do the same thing.
good luck

Hey there,
Sorry to hear about it.
Dont quote me on this however I am not sure what model ford your talking about, but I have heard they have some magnetic device in the keys as an immobiliser. Not sure if its the new models only.
My best bet is to call a locksmith and ask them.
Or the expensive option is to call ford and get some replacements.
Good luck
