Title: Fuel tank or equivalent for 1977 wagon
Post by: Commando on June 18, 2013, 12:21:06 AM

Hi All, picked up my first pinto today, it's looking like a new gas tank would be in my near future, who sells the cheapest one out there? Thanks

Hmmm, now I'm curious is this only for a 77 wagon you can't get a new tank???, there's a brand new one on mine and it's a perfect fit..

ALL WAGONS ARE THE SAME, THE ONLY TANK I HAVE FOUND NEW ARE FOR THE SEDAN AND HATCH BACKS!! IF YOU HAVE A BRAND NEW ONE YOU ARE ONE LUCKY GUY!!!   UNLESS SOME ONE JUST STARTED MAKING THEM!!
THANKS

Well, it was on the car when I got it and I asked the guy about it and all he said was the "mechanic shop" did it, apparently this car sat for a long time. I'll take a pic of it, maybe it's for something else and it just happens to fit??..

That looks like a nicely restored original.
