Where is my best source for a 68 charger Spectra tank? Anyone bought one lately? Does Spectra make a stainless steel one?

Found them at AMD pretty reasonable. Could not find one in Stainless Steel, though.

Well the and spectra tank is not the premium one. Summit sells it and the cheap one. Premium tank is $74 more. Looks like the finish on the cheap tank is “natural” and the premium is tin plated. Natural means it will rust out with today’s crappy gas!

I don't think they do stainless steel?
You could check their catalog:
https://www.spectrapremium.com/en/aftermarket/north-america/fuel-tank

Find the part number for the tank and google it, and you will get an idea of who has the lower prices.
Several years ago (2015), I got my '69 Coronet EFI tank (CR9CFI) from Amazon ($366.02), but they really increased the price since then ($449.20)

Rock Auto seems to have good price on the tank, for the CR9CFI = $394.79 + 17.99 shipping to my house, so $430.32
Summit is $451.99, but free shipping.
AutoZone is $436.99

Didn't look at ORckAuto did you?

Stainless right there and way cheaper than $400+

the FI means fuel injected. That's why it costs so much/ OP didn't mention FI though...

I finally found a stainless tank from vans on eBay for about the same as a Spectra premium thank. Now we just have to make a choice!

I buy my Spectra Premium tanks on ebay. The company name is Spectra Premium. They do not have separate lines of tanks like a cheap line and a premium line.

Well then AMD is selling a Spectra Tank that is a lot cheaper. It may not be made by Spectra, idk. I read between the lines and it is raw steel and not coated like the Spectra Premium I found st Summit. I’ll check eBay but I could not find one the first time. I think the customer decided on a stainless one I found at vans on eBay. Thanks for the input.
