Wanted - Clean- dual petcock gas tank for 79 Special

[Stone Co Rambler]

Looking for a clean, original paint, dual petcock tank for a 79 Special.

Gas cap, key, badges and fuel taps, not needed.

Prefer original paint, in factory red. Re painted or custom painted tanks considered, as well.

Tank should be rust/dent free with paint in very good to excellent condition.

Cheers!

got a black one with "good" paint if nothing better shows up. i'll snap a couple pics.

Hey, thanks for the note. No rush but I'd be interested to see a few photos, when you get the chance.

It's got a bit of metallic in it some scratches. No or only VERY minor dents. inside is an easy clean up.

Thanks for posting these. Not exactly what I am looking for right now. Pretty much identical to what I currently have, so I'd like to upgrade a bit w/o much fuss of painting or otherwise.

Cheers

Understood. See you next spring?

 

[Stone Co Rambler]

I sure hope so. Sorry I missed you all again.

Rally date here was different than previous years and I was out of town playing some music in Mississippi that weekend.

Wish I could get you all down to my place but the road is problematic for motorcycles.

If you come across a nice red tank or a super clean black one....hollar.

LOL

I know, right. Saw this the other day.
I'd almost be tempted to make an offer if was standard red, instead of maroon. Been listed for a while.

Still looking....prefer red or silver.

Thanks for the link G. Link appears dead now though. Keep me posted if you come across something.

I did see you have a red tank on one of your bikes, as well? Looks sharp.
