Hey guys! I've had a couple of gas tanks hangin' on the wall in my garage for a few years now. Never really been able to pinpoint the model or year of either one.

I think the can-am tank is a '75 or ?? The Ossa tank is fiberglass, and is in amazing shape for its age. Any help greatly appreciated!

If anyone is interested in buying either one, make an offer! I have more detailed pics, too!

I do not know enough about Can Ams to spot the subtle differences in the models and years but 75 or 76 is very close.
The Ossa tank looks to have come off of a Mick Andrews Trials replica.. I would guess around 1973.

Somewhere between 23 and 400 dollars.
All depends on finding the guy that needs it.
On ebay, you'll get guys from Spain wantin the OSSA tank,
for next to nothing.
Or maybe try AHRMAs site and maybe get a few hundred.

Yeah, I figured the Can Am is a '75, wasn't sure about other years because also remembered the black & orange tanks too.



The Ossa tank is exactly the same as this Mick Andrews Replica, just not sure which year. A '73 is different, so is it newer or older??



Not really interested in selling on eBay or anything, I kinda like them and will probably hang on the wall again. I put out the "for sale" in case anyone on here needs the missing piece of a good resto or vintage racer project.
