68 cutlass gas tank

I've been thinking about replacing my current tank and wondering is one supplier better than any other? The prices range from $115-300. Any advice would be helpful.

Just what I've heard - the Canadian gas tanks are much better quality than the overseas gas tank reproductions. I had to get one for my '68 and found it in a junk yard about 2 hours away. If you find one in a yard, be careful when it is removed. They made me use a yard person to take out the tank I found. The yard person just let the tank drop after the straps were released, and it bent the fill tube such that I didn't want their tank anymore, which kind of made the yard people mad. Fortunately, there was another one I could use. If I had that whole evolution to do again, I would insist upon removing the tank myself!

Spectra Premium form Rock Auto...about $130

Don't mess with used tanks....not worth it.
