Hmm...I'm not sure you could probably try Advance Auto. A locking gas cap is definitely a wise investment. I had mine given to me by my best friend, who if I remember correctly, purchased it at (don't laugh) Central Tractor...which is now out of business. It serves the purpose :)

Oh, and I forgot to mention...I've tried all the local shops...they don't carry them, and Stant doesn't make one yet. The only option I've found is to purchase an "original."

Re: Locking Gas Cap?? (rainman69)
OK, the problem with 74 and prior is that the original filler caps were large enough for the leaded fuel hoses. The question is...did your vette get retrofitted with the smaller unleaded filler tube? If so then it is probably a screw in type, which means you can use a standard GM screw in cap. If not then it's a tabbed type of cap to fit into the slots, but you can still get them...Schucks, Kragen, Checker has them hanging on the shelves.

Re: Locking Gas Cap?? (Rockn-Roll)
I just got one from Mid America a couple of days ago. It works great on my '81! 1-800-500-8388 is their number. Just give them the year, and they'll get one out to you! If they don't have it, I think Corvette Central does. Hope this helps!

I've been looking for a locking gas cap for my 74 ever since I got it. The catalogs show them, but when you order, they're not available.
If someone finds one please let me know for a 74
