    Hey guys, thanks in advance for your suggestions. I'm sick of patching my tank with epoxy every few months... Is there a gas tank out there I could buy new (maybe from inlinetube) that would fit my '66 Lesabre; or anybody know where I could pick up a used tank that'll work.

    The car's a driver so I'd like to avoid taking it off the road and sending the old tank out.

    Randy...
    I have a 65 lesabre & I will be removing the tank shortly because I am going
    with a fuel cell.
    I don't know if a 65 tank will fit a 66, but there are no leaks, or dents & it is in pretty good shape.
    I live in south jersey.
    Let me know if you are interested.

    Randy;
    My Hollanders book says only 66 except Riviera will work.

    Will a 66 Wildcat work? Think it should, I can check it's condition. Shipping might be a little high???

    Todd,

    That's great, thanks. 66 seems to be a very difficult year to find parts... guess it's a big transition year.

    I'd like to take that one from the Wildcat... I'm in NY not too far from the City. How far away are you? How much would you like for it?

    Thanks Bob n Tom

    I just took a quick peak and it seems to be pretty solid, it was a Missouri car. I'll try to get it out tomorrow and check it out better. I'm near Milwaukee WI. As for price, let me see the overall condition first. Thanks!
