[Amc-list] Rebel convertible trunk won't open

Anyone have a good way to get into the trunk of a '67 Rebel Convertible 
when the key-operated latch stops working?

I had driven the car to pick up a prescription, put it in the trunk, 
then when I got home the trunk would not open!

The key turns with no resistance, like the lock cylinder has come loose 
from the latch mechanism.

I got a replacement for the prescription since I don't know how long 
it's going to take to get into this thing.

 There are also tools and parts in there I need to get out.

Removing the rear seat back on this car does not get you into the trunk, 
there's a full-width metal bulkhead there that the hydraulic pump for 
the top mounts to.

Might be able to go in through the top well lining, but that looks like 
a pretty nasty job.

Any ideers?
