New to the group!

[LWNelson]

I've been collecting 'E' bodies since the '70's. I have 4 convertibles and several hard tops. Most of these were bought in the early '80's.
Current project plan is my triple black 6 auto '71 convertible Challenger.
I bought it at an abandon vehicles auction for $440.
Question for the group, info about the factory 'E' body locking gas cap.

Welcome to the site from Michigan!
I won't be the only one to say this, but we need to see pictures of those E-bodies.
What is it that you want to know about the locking gas cap?

Welcome to the site from Arkansas! Nice inventory of cars. As Lee said, like pictures.
personally I like the spin on.
Glad you joined up! And looking forward to the build.

Can’t wait to see pics of your cars; especially those verts!
The locking gas cap was designed to fit under the flip open outer gas cap. What do you need to know?

Howdy from Colorado. I'm dying to know about the cars you have?

Any 70 barracuda's? Love to see pics of that triple TX9 Vert.
Does it retain it's /6 tower of power?

Welcome from sunny California......show us your collection my friend.

 

[ZippyZoo]

Welcome also, from Denver. Sounds like a great collection you have........ Yes, post pictures!!
On topic of locking gas cap.......my '71 Challenger came with a factory locking gas cap. Pictures of mine are below.
HOWEVER, I have not personally seen this type of cap elsewhere nor have I found it reproduced. The standard restoration product sites, like Year One, etc., sell a more "standard looking", flat locking gas cap like this:
1966-74 A B E-Body Locking Vented Fuel Cap 1970 1974 Cha... .
The rubber seal sleeve attached to the flip top cap to seal the lock of the above "flat" gas cap does not fit with my style cap and did not come on my car's original flip top cap.
Any clarification from the experts on this site as to the two different styles of Challenger locking gas caps is most welcome and appreciated. Is a new rubber seal ring available for this style of locking gas cap?
Thanks........

A few photos:

Challengers : black '71 and a B5 '70 behind it. Both 6 auto. The '70 has air.

Baracudas : triple white is a gran coupe convertible, second is just a 318 auto.

All refugees saved from the crusher many years ago!

Better photos and more info later.

Nice collection of E-bodies you have there!
And looks like parts too

 

[DetMatt1]

Those all look like they’ve been there for a while.

Anyone know which year or model Challenger the "PRESSURE VACUUM" and the "NOT VENTED" locking gas caps came on?

 

[fasjac]

Obviously, they are pretty rare. I saw one for sale here for 1,200.00 bucks. I don’t know if it’s a factory option but, probable.
Nice collection there!

My early (August build) '71 Challenger came with the PRESSURE VACUUM style which has the ECS tube in the trunk with four lines to the tank on one line to the engine's three tube breather. Fender tag shows "J46" Locking Gas Cap.
There is a used PRESSURE VACUUM one for sale on Craigslist near me for $500. The seller claims "This is the 1971 and up style Pressure Vacuum cap,, Rare factory part in like new condition."

My '71 Challenger 383 also came with one. I replaced the original with an NOS NIB years ago for $25 bucks!
