Question Looking for a '60 Ventura Gas Tank

I'm looking for a '60 Ventura Gas Tank and sending unit. Anybody know what other year tanks that would fit or where to get a reproduction? Need to get her back on the road! Thanks.

Yes, I bought one of these because it looked similar to my '59. When I got it I compared them side by side and they are identical

I would assume 59-64 is the same. I told the guy he would get a lot more sales if he changed his listing to include 59s but he didn't change it

But he needs a tank first to put it in ..
Tanks are HARD to find even used. I sold the one out of my race car TOO cheap !!

No. The filler neck is in a different place.

Do you not have a tank at all?
Most can be repaired if there are just a few holes.

I have one in a parts car but I'm not sure what physical condition it's in.
What I do know for sure is that there is a lining of black tar varnish on the inside and it would need quite a bit of work to make it useable.
