75 nova trunk

I have 1975 nova that the trunk lock broke on me. What is the best way to open the trunk. Can I drill the lock or smothing?.

Yes. Start with a 1/4 in bit and drill about 2". You should then be able to get a long thin screwdriver in and turn the latch. Don't drill to far. You may have to go to 1/2 in bit.
