Hey folks,

Does anybody know where I can get a gas tank for a 79 vette. It appears that was the only year the tank had a liner or some nonsense like that.

Called Mid America - they haven't had one since 99??

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've found Dynamic Corvettes <www.dynamiccorvettes.com> is a good place to find hard to get parts. They may be able to help you.

Jeremy,

They ('78-'82) are listed in the "Used Parts" section @ Contemporary Corvettes.

Very pricy!!!

Most of the regular part sources only list new tanks up to 1977. Seems like a hard item to find.

Good luck,

Anthony

Give these guys a shout. While it is not listed in the cat., they do advertise tanks for 78-82 now. I bought one for my '74 and am extremely pleased. |thumb| |thumb| |wavey|
