Default Key Lock Gas Cap

Just purchased a 69 Stingray and the original owner lost the key to the gas cap. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to remove the cap?

Welcome to the forum.

I'd try the brute force method. Drive a screwdriver in the slot and try to turn w/ a wrench or Vise Grips 'til it breaks. If that doesn't work, I'd try cutting it off w/ a Dremel tool.
