Re: 1965 Corvette Coupe Gas tank

I should have asked if the tank leaked on this late '66 air car .

.....You definitely don't want to be rear-ended hard by a light truck or SUV (or any larger truck/bus, etc.), which have bumpers higher than passenger cars.

They can override your rear bumper, puncture/push the fuel tank through the flimsy fiberglass bulkhead, and the contents may set ablaze in the passenger compartment. .....

Like maybe this '65 (ignore wheelcovers and hood scoop). Suspect fire not due to accident, but really don't know the details.
