Default Re: 69 camaro - GM gas tank vs repo

The way the corners of the seam are turned up makes me think that is a repo too, but maybe the over-the-counter tanks differed from the assembly line versions in that regard too. In my shop I have an original tank and a repro, if you can give me a day or two I will take and post pictures of the differences between the two.

If your original gas cap doesn't fit worth a crap and is hard as hell to turn and tighten then it is probably a repro. That has been my experience with repro tanks.
