Seems like Corvette Central or Paragon reproduced this one cap.

Hi,
I believe the 2 tabs on the reproduction cap's handle point towards the word sealed.
The tabs on the originals don't.
Regards,
Alan

Default 71 gas cap - original
The tabs on the cap I have , point at the word sealed, it also has imprinted "caution open slowly" on the other half. It's free if you can use it.

If he doesn't take it, I would appreciate it. Mine has a hole drilled through it for some unknown reason.
