RE: Rusted fuel tank?
Yeah it may be a little off. I know that before the first Desert storm in '91, gas was around $1.00, then it went to $1.50 gal. That is still cheap.

In1989 gas should have been about $.60 per gallon.. You must be running jet fuel

I had the same thing happen to me too, in my 70 coupe. Filled it up one day, the next day when I went to leave for school, no gas.[:@] It all leaked through a rusted hole in the tank.[:@] That was back in high school-1989, luckily gas was only $1.10/gal. The good ol days.

The tank should just go. It's an easy fix and no matter the cost, it's always worth the piece of mind that you aren't sucking **** up into your engine.

Yep, I remember paying $0.989 in 1998, so I think your price is a little off.
