Given that there was no lock on the hood, it was a pretty easy car to steal if you wanted to. You just had to find one where the doors weren't locked.

Not that I stole a car, mind you. My dad restored Mustangs as a business, so we occasionally had to move cars when we didn't have the keys.

They still shouldn't have started. Crank sure but not actually start. No power to the coil. That should come through the ignition switch I'm thinking
