IIRC, this was just a universal one from Checker Auto parts -- cost like 10 bucks.

Make sure you change caps to the recovery style cap

I also wanted a stock appearing recovery bottle for my '65 Coronet. I used the stock windshield washer bottle in the stock location. Just had to change the radiator cap to a recovery type.

Attachment not working, Hoop.
A guy on Ebay sells the ones like the Checker/Schucks/Kragen bottle posted for about $6.00; it attached to my '64 Savoy without even drilling a hole.
I've seen some pretty funny ones: modified beer cans, etc.

You said stock appearing...so....if you have a windshield wash bottle in your car, and you don't really use it....CONVERT it!
I did that with my 70 Cuda. Looks VERY stock, and it now a fully functional recovery tank.

I'd like to see a pic of that. Isn't the wiper bottle on the opposite side of where the vent tube exits the radiator, tricky tube routing?

I'll dig up a pic, the puke tube WAS on the opposite side. I rotated it 180 degrees (torch and solder) so it exits to the passenger side.
