All Non Vented since late 57. NAPA p/n 703-1205 is a cheap replacement for the original F-E cap.

I don't take any chances with the idiots in the world these days. Locking cap for the past 30 years, and the original in my tool box. Can't steal it from there, and nobodies going to contaminate my gas. Too bad they made them at crotch level for drunken jealous fools to pee in.

Agree 100% with Kerrmudgeon. I had my original '62 cap stolen at none other than Corvettes at Carlisle while in the 2010 US flag arrangement. WOW, and I thought I was among honest friends! I learned my lesson and now have a locking cap.

If your into GM accessories this is the rarest hardest item you'll ever find for a C1 ,it came available in 1955 for Corvette and fits (53 to 62) , Car was offered one also in 55 but wont exchange with Corvette because the filler tub between car and Corvette are a different design .They repro the car design but not Corvette because of NCRS minded people

Where can you find a locking non-vented cap that fits the C1?
