    Original key set 911 1973

    What does a complete key set look like for a 1973 911? Master key (black, what shape? how many?). Valet key (red, how many?), any other keys? Key code card, etc. A photo of an original set would be nice. (I only got the red key..).
    Thanks!

    This will help. Original keys for 1972. Will be the same for most LWB 911s.
    Black key is master key, red is valet. Name:  02877378-9276-48F6-9E34-D36E37A12018.jpg

    Two black master, 2 red valet, 2 lock lug nut keys and 1 only antenna key. I purchased this 911 from the original owner 26 yrs ago.

    thanks. I saw that one, but wondered about the reversed shape of the plastic keygrip (have seen black gripped blanks offered with the same shape as the red gripped ones). So, they are differently shaped.

    What does the master key do that the valet key doesn’t? What year did the valet key start? Just wondering is my 69T originally would have been delivered with one.

    Black key opens glovebox and Targa front lock. Red key only operates ignition.
