Dude,

I'm pretty sure that the '71-73 Capri key will work, although the GT5 and 
GT5-S used a DIFFERENT ignition switch.  If you can get the door open, it's 
not that difficult to gain access to the ignition system.

1)  Remove the plastic covers that surround that portion of the steering 
column (held in place with two phillips screws)

2)  Remove the four allen-head bolts which secure the steering column to the 
underside of the dash.

The whole column (including the ignition switch) will now drop down in your 
lap.  It's a simple matter at this point to unscrew the lock portion of the 
ignition switch and remove it.  A locksmith can then make a key for it in his 
shop.  Assembly is the reverse of disassembly.

However, it's also childishly simple to hot-wire the car at this point, so 
don't leave it lying around unattended...
