'64 Buick Riviea fuel tank

Hey everyone.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I am looking for a new (not used) 1964 Buick Riviera fuel tank, but cannot seem to find anything online. The one in the Riviera I am going to work on has a big hole in it. My question is it is the same as a Skylark, or perhaps something Olds related. Sorry , but I searched everywhere, but can't seem to find anything.
Thanks for any & all help.

The 69 GTO tank fits perfectly and the stock straps will work. All you have to do is cut a section out of the gas filler neck to make it the proper length.
Found this on a Buick website talking about a 64 Riv.

Thanks, I may just have to try it. I'm actually just looking to replace it to get it up & running for a friend. They are going to try to sell it (If or after) I can get it "driveway" running. (Starts & Stops).
Thanks for the help.

Try Tanks Inc. If it is not listed it is worth a call to them. I would say there is no chance of it being the same as a Skylark and probably not any car. 63-65 should be the same tank.

Thanks, I is not listed on tanksinc.com website. I tried to call them, but the line is either busy every time I call, or the number is not working. I did shoot them an e-mail so we'll see if the get back to me. Thanks for the tip.

Sounds like you are going to have to find a used one and have it reconditioned. Good luck on your search.
