Missing Keys what do I do????

Not sure if this is the right forum? I have a car that has been sitting in my backyard for a while. I have moved since and lost my keys to the car during the move. I was wondering what I would have to do in order to get keys so I can start my resto. I really want to get done with this car but I am concerned as to the fact that it might not be worth anything now that I dont have keys to it. The car is a 1992 Camaro RS Anniversary edition. Dont know if that matters. Please help me out I am a thirdgener in distress.....

if the car is unlocked you can buy new door locks and as for starting it you can buy a new lock cylinder and key

Missing keys!!

You're in luck. GM has key codes back to 1991 and some 1990 vehicles. This is what to do. Get one one or more of the following. Title to the '92 Camaro, an insurance card for the '92 Camaro, or the license plate, tag registration card for the '92 Camaro. This shows ownership of said vehicle, and provides a VIN# for the Camaro. Call any GM dealership close to your house and ask them if they will cut a key for you by VIN#, and tell them you have proof of ownership. Once they agree take one or all of the aforementioned documents and your drivers license to the parts counter. They will make copies of your license and documentation, retrieve your key codes from the VIN# and hopefully cut you a set of brand new keys for your Camaro. Door keys run about $10, Ignition keys run about $35. Good luck!
