Which gas tank is closest to original? Quanta or Spectra?

The "marbling" or galvanizing would not be the same for each tank due to it being stamped out of a roll of galvanized metal.

Which is what I was thinking.  Meaning no two original tanks would look that similar, right?

Do I NEED it? Not really, however, with everything else on the car being 95% original parts, I'd prefer to.  This is one of those cars where I might put a repro in and continue to try and find an original or NOS one since this car is so rare and has so much going for it.  I'd hate to detract from it with a repro part.  

Some production stats on this car:  

• 1969 was the LAST year for the GTX convertible as the road runner convertible was outselling it by a margin of 4:1
  Total production : 701
  362 came equipped with the 440 Super Commando engine and 727 Automatic trans
  About 50 painted with the T3 Honey Bronze color (unconfirmed)
  47 left known in existence, as of 2002,  according to Barrett Jackson auctions who sold one of these in 2006.

When I pulled my original tank out and put in the spectra, the only difference was a factory decal that you cannot see, once installed. The decal was on top of the tank.
N.O.S. stuff is overrated imo.

Do you happen to remember what the factory sticker looked like or maybe have a picture of it?

[ACUDANUT]

It was a green label and too me it did not matter. You could not see it anyway, when installed.  It was not a big deal imo.  Who wants a rusty 43 old gas tank anyway. 
No one is going to drop your tank and say oh, this is not original.  I'd say... well, neither is the gas.

I was just curious as I found a sticker on the top of the gas tank I pulled out of the GTX also.  Was either blue and white or greenish blue and white if I remember correctly.

Here's that NOS Charger tank I saw before:

LOOK! A label! 
I guess if ya gotta have it, it's worth $900 bucks.
No B-body ones, though.

Might be easier to just reproduce the sticker.

Might be easier to just reproduce the sticker.

Or remove it from the one that is on the tank now and change it over!

There you go!
