Click on image for the eBay link. I just came across this '87 VFR700 fuel tank for sale on eBay. The listing is titled "NOS Gas Tank 1987...." The description goes on to say "New old stock 1987 Honda Interceptor Gas Tank."
Well, this tank may be stock, and it may be old, but it ain't "new." There's obvious signs of a petcock and filler cap having been mounted on this tank, indicating use on a bike. I have a genuine NOS R/W/B fuel tank, so I know they don't come with those items mounted. New is new, used is used, and this item is used.
Having said all that, this is a rare tank, offered in the rarest of the second-gen VFR colors, Candy Wave Blue, and appearing straight with no dents (although that's not specifically stated) and the "inside like new." There's an opening bid of $500 plus $33 in shipping to CONUS only. The item is located in Ohio and the auction ends July 19.
