Moparpro.com is the Vendor and that website has many listing for repo Gas Tanks, so it appears legit. Impossible to say what pricing will be but the prices for there other repos are high two hundred running into the high seven hundreds dollars. The average price for the gas tanks they offer works out to be $475 ea. There is not a whole lot to these Roadster gas tanks so hopefully it will be in the lower range of there pricing. (assuming this happens) They are East Coast so shipping out West will be substantial. Potentially the price will be equal or less than going the GASTANKRENU route.
Edit:
I put a 16 gal. Desoto Gas tank in the Moparpro.com shopping cart and shipping to California was a very reasonable $35!!

Doing a reproduction gas thank shouldn’t be so complicated
I have 2 friends locally who have had some made for about 500$ CDN including an EFI in tank fuel pump and I know of at least one guy in Florida who did the same for his U20 EFI conversion for around 450$ USD
This is an example of one from my friend for his VG30 conversion

And this is another for an SR20DET swap

So no regulatory red tape, DOT approval or anything like that to prevent getting MOPARPRO up to speed?

That’s a good question and point you raise and probably a question anyone doing a swap should be asking
I guess they can stamp the proverbial
“For Racing Purpose Only†stamp on it
