The Classic Center Parts system (Germany) shows them to be available, which means they’re available from any dealer in the U.S. as well. They should be able to order one for you with proof of ownership and have it cut to match the VIN. That’s typically done at the parts depot in Texas, at least all of the keys I’ve had made from them in the last 20 year were.
