Outside warbird guys, there are salt flats racers that would give an arm for that.

I'd guess at least 2K if not more. It looks like a smaller tank so I don't know if they could use it for a body.

I should point out this is a 75 gal tank.. If there was a person inside this, it would have to be powered by a weedwacker engine....

You wouldn't happen to have any contacts in this field would you? I have two 250 gallon P-38/Harpoon drop tanks that I'm looking to part with.

Yes, my brother in law is looking for a tank, but having just spoke with him he's interested in one or both if the price is right & it doesn't cost a fortune to freight em to Los Angeles :)

We need a pair of drop tanks for our Lockheed Ventura here in Edmonton. Are yours the 168 gal. wing pylon tanks? We's sure be interested if not too pricey!
Let us know at vmfa@telusplanet.net

Thanks!

They go for big bucks on eBay. You'll get a lot more for them there than you will from an aircraft guy.

Maybe put them in the auto racing section of eBay and cross post in some of the automotive forums like the H.A.M.B.?
