WTB Gas tank for a 1980
I need a good used tank to replace my leaker. Another forum member had one at a good price but couldn't get it shipped. I would come pick it up if it was reasonably close to western North Carolina. Can anyone help? I want to get my baby back on the road.

A few yrs ago I gave up looking for a new tank for my 81. If you find a good used one under 150$ that may be the way to go, but over that it would be better to have yours completely restored. It cost 350$ to restore my 81 with me taking it off and putting back on the car.

If you want to make a road trip to East Alabama, I have two parts cars. You take it out, you can have it.... tobyte1@yahoo.com

Alabama..at this point it's tempting.
I can buy a new one for $249.00 from various suppliers that isn't lined. I'd prefer to spend less on a good used one that I can get close to home or that can be shipped to me.
Still looking. Thanks!

Where is your's leaking?
I just pulled the tank out of my '81 today to put a sump in it only to find out that it has a liner. The tank is in perfect condition but the liner makes me weary of butchering it.

I have one off a 79. Don't know if that will work. It has been painted an cleaned. It also has a new sending unit. It isn't leaking or has any dents but I believe there might be a crack in the bladder so that would have to be removed. Not a big deal or anything but I wanted to make sure I mentioned it. It also comes with the straps that are painted as well. I am asking $190 if you are interested. I am located in Charlotte, NC.
