DualQuadDave Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I have a tank that is out of car if you need pics/dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrlforfun Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 OK Greg: Please tell the folks reproducing the First-Gen Riviera tank that a 1960 Buick has the IDENTICAL tank. Just the angle of the filler neck is a little different. it would really be great to see them offered. I recently paid $300 for a tank clean-out and epoxy coat.

I have talked to Greg about this. I do not need a gas tank but, might be willing to let them use my car to iron out any fitment issues if no one else steps forward. From conversations on the forum I know how important getting a replacement gas tank on the market is for other 63-65 Riviera owners. If there is someone out there that could benefit more from this please do not hesitate to contact Greg or if a forum member knows someone that doesn't frequent the forum in Wisconsin that could benefit from please let them know.

telriv Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 IF a '60 tank is readily available that's an EXACT fit, except for the filler neck, WHY go through all of the trouble. Swapping/re-locating filler necks is somewhat easy. WHERE can you buy '60 tanks??? From who??? Just my thoughts on the subject. Tom T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrlforfun Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 OK Tom: Let me clarify. The 60 tank is identical except for the filler neck angle. The length of the filler neck on a 4829 and 4839 is a few inches longer. I do NOT have any anything on re-pop tanks, this is why I'm excited. I probably could sell a hundred if they were available at a reasonable price. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat1562 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 looking for someone to fit it into, the proto type is done and looks correct, but they want to fit it and make sure there is no problem, and they said they would make it worth someones time if they do thanks Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
