is your old one gone?
destroyed?

Tanks are fickle.
After spending tons to weld a couple and pay $$ to buy a couple, I got 2 plastic ones for free in a junkyard deal.

depends on your timing and if your old one is really toasted.
Radiator shops can do wonders with bad tanks.

I usually have more time than $$ so I usually start with that notion.

Then again, you may not see another one that nice for months.

not sure how many late 80's x's were made

The seller is a member here and no way would I pay $150 for a tank that looks like that on the outside. god knows what the inside looks like

i to have to agree for that tank the price is a little high, lately nice tanks are becoming a little pricey, and by nice i mean a bolt on ready to go tank. a tank that needs paint and sealing should only be 50-100 tops and it should have little to no dents.

It is too high for me; considering it need refinished. How is the inside?

The 86-87 200X tanks are not all that easy to find but they do appear on ebay every now and then, I personally think think this tank is worth 75 bucks but no more than that because of the dents . I would look for a better one myself..
