Yes the mustang did have an antitheft deterrent in the key,it isn't the passlock chip like the GM's.They key itself is the resistance the lock is looking for.It sends a signal through the key and reads the resistance on the other side.It wasn't as integral then as it was now,you should be able to get a key for it made at wal-mart.

Insurance will be high. But if you can swing that, it's not a bad choice. LOL@Kritter You think a V6 Mustang "guzzles" gas? When I was 16 I had an old F-100 with a 390 4bbl swapped in. It got about 8-10 MPG, no offense man, but you don't know what a "gas guzzler" truly is. . Coincidentally the 1998 Mustang GT gets about 0.5-1.0 MPG less than a 2005 Mustang V6. There's very little difference there.

Ford Chip Key

I have a 99 mustang and it DOES have the chip .. I also have a 95 gt and a 93 Lx .. NO chip in those ones.
if it does have a chip the key where you hold it will be bigger than a regular key almost box looking. the chip is in that box.

The system in the Mustang is called the PATS(Passive Anti-theft System) or Securilock and it does use a programmable key. the short answer to your question is yes. My 99 GT had the chip/resistor in the key as well.

Yes, it does. It uses a PATS key, which has a larger head on it than a regular key. PATS uses a specially encoded ignition key. Each encoded ignition key contains a permanently installed electronic device called a transponder, which causes a ring around the key cylinder to emit a radio signal to the PATS module when the correct key is inserted. Each encoded ignition key must be programmed into a vehicle's PATS module before it can be used to start the engine.

Don't know about the Mustang but the 98 Mercury Marquis had a programmable key and if it wasn't programmed, the engine wouldn't start. Good luck. Pops

Pretty sure it doesn't - I have a '95 GT, and it has no chip in the key. I haven't heard of Mustangs having that feature.

Disconnect .
Remove the steering column opening cover assembly and reinforcement (refer to Section 01-12) to access passive anti-theft system (PATS) module located to right of fuse junction panel.
Remove three fasteners retaining module and bracket and one fastener attaching metal brace near module.
Disconnect harness connector and remove PATS module and mounting bracket.
Installation
NOTE: The PATS module must be reconfigured after replacement. Two encoded keys must be cycled in ignition first and then Pinpoint Test B2139- must be followed to initialize module.
Follow removal procedure in reverse order.
Tighten all three screws to 2.4-4.0 Nm (22-35 lb-in).
Install an encoded ignition key (with correct vehicle mechanical key cut) into ignition switch and turn to RUN position to program the first key into control module. Repeat for 2nd encoded ignition key.
Configure module as necessary (B2139-).

It probably does, if you see a light that blinks once every 2 seconds in the dash, it does. One way is look at the key and see if it a little fat where you grab it.
