Interesting. I note that the original key for my '75 245 has a 4-digit number stamped right on it.

Is this the key code? Right on the key??

    I doubt it.

    Looking at the original sets of keys for my '76 245 and '80 245, There isn't any writing on any of the keys.

    My guess is that you in fact don't have the original keys, but a replica that was made along the way (that might just happen to have "VOLVO" stamped on it) and the numbers you see are for sizing up the key blank.

    Your door key for the '75 probably has "X30" stamped on it somewhere, and your ignition key probably has "X29" stamped on it as well. The replica keys for the '76 and my '77 244 have these numbers stamped on them as well.

    If you only have one key for both the doors and ignition for the '75, someone replaced all of the locks and ignition switch at some point.

    Hope this helps!
