Here is a Canadian authorized seller of Goodmark products. Scroll to the bottom and check out the p\n of your tank. It looks like a Spectra tank:

http://www.crosscanadaparts.com/cgi-bin/crosscanada/product_list.html?img_num=187

Acccording to their website, they have on in stock in Vancouver for a lot less that Lordco.




That's the same part number (CR9C). I couldn't get the price to show up. I imagine that they are all getting it from Spectra's Burnaby (Vancouver) warehouse.

OK, the plot thickens;

The tank I rec'd from Year One has another box inside the YO box and it has a part number on it # CCR9C. The Spectra part number I ordered from Lordco is CR9C and that's too close for comfort as I now suspect that the YO tank came from Spectra.

A call into Spectra yielded nothing useful other than an assurance that thier tanks are "high end".

I guess I'll find out tomorrow but if I just paid over $600.00 for the same tank I got from YO for $185.00, I'm going to be annoyed.

*Sigh* nothing is ever easy in this hobby!

Just checked Spectra tanks and Quanta tanks websites and the tank I was looking at for my car had the same part number.

How can that be
Are these two companies related somehow.

Dave the One Cross Canada Sells will be identical to the one from Year One. I am pretty Sure Cross Canada and Sherman Parts are basically the same company and Sherman sell the overseas gas tanks. Spectra sells the best gas tank out there. So you should be happy with that one.

Yes as I said before the Goodmark tanks ARE CORRECT, I use them all the time. They can be had for less than $200 from most vendors.

Just received my Spectra Cuda tank today. Bought it on eBay for $135, plus $25 shipping. Has the correct galvanized finish - not painted!

Just an update;

I found the part number on the Spectra Premium website. They won't sell direct, but Lordco (our local jobber) sells thier products. They have one in stock and it will be delivered to my office tomorrow.........$ 665.89 plus taxes.

...........if it isn't perfect, it's goin' back.

Dave




665.89?!?! That's nuts. Have you been on ebay, they have them for cheaper.

Alright, Update:

The good news: the Spectra tank is the proper finish and looks very nice. It also arrived with no damage.

The Bad news: They sent me a CR9A rather than a CR9C. The "A" is for a Charger as it has the side filler opening.....

..........Here I go again!!!!!!

Update: Recieved tank #3 this morning. Correct part number CR9C......(drumroll please).....it is IDENTICAL to the painted silver tank I recieved from Year One. It even has the two ECS nipples. It seems when you order it withough California Emmissions, you get two rubber plugs! Funny, the second tank (CR9A - Charger tank) with the right finish had no ECS tubes and used different construction methods for the welds. Both painted tanks, the one from YO and the one from Spectra used a radius weld on the corner pinches. I should post some pics.

So to recap then: $ 1,515.00 so far and still no decent fuel tank. I'll keep you posted.

.......next time I'll buy a car that someone ELSE had to restore!

I gave Vans a shot, they advertise in the collectors guide. I am 100% happy, great product, very, very fair price and fast shipping. I used their sending unit also and it works!!!!! I figured with there prices that there stuff would be junk, I was wrong. It's top notch. Year one is a major RIP OFF, right up there next to OPEC.
