Dave, this is a reproduction, and it also comes with mounting hardware and the overflow cap you're searching for at OPGI. Not sure how they can offer this so cheap compared to other vendors. Worth a look especially since it's new and inexpensive. Link - OPGI coolant reservoir



Here's a link to an OEM on eBay right now for $125. It needs a little cleaning. I'd ask if the plastic is brittle though. OEM reservoir

Hmmm...116 for a new kit with everything, or 125 for a used OEM reservoir only...seems like a no brainier to me...thanks Allan

I followed the other thread. So I looked under the hood of my recently acquired 72 last night, and commented about what in the wide world of sports was mine? I have an odd one that surely is wrong. I'll take a picture.

The one posted by RetroRanger is also wrong for 1971, 1972 Cutlass.

Honestly for $20, and if it's not looking to win 999 points at a judging - you spent your money wisely.
