Joe, That color is close to what my new tank color is. I noticed on the side of the box it says the tank is galvanized, and painted with a special coating for durability. It looks really nice. The funny thing is I will probably end up putting a fuel injectin system on my car (after bodywork/paint, 455, etc., etc.). I will have to replace the tank again at that point with a tank that is baffled with an in tank fuel pump.
