That would be cool. (Even a non-locking, less expensive, replacement cap would be cool.)

The original early gas cap was this metal one later changed to the plastic one ....for weight savings??

PorKen

Wow, I didn't realize the early one was stainless. Cool.

(I think I could afford a few ounces, for a luxury item like this )

i was thinking of incorporating an aero style cap, like on motorcycle gas tanks, into the rear quarter.

I had no idea this was a novelty, or I might have left my fuel filler door open at Sharktoberfest.

Jim, what are those caps worth, in your opinion? Do you have any around? Mine is broken and I need a new one.

Jim bailey - 928 International

A regular used cap with key is worth $75 used ....the collector edition ??

Randy V

Ken - you are considering adding weight to your car?

I'm shocked!!

Donald

from ebay listing: "Most 928's gas caps are made out of cheap red plastic, "
I think not-

Nicole

Well, he says "most". There is still a chance that yours is made with expensive red plastic. The new ones must be, considering the cost of replacement....

But these are really cool - I had never noticed them on the odler cars! We learned something today... And soon we'll see ads like this:

I have a cheesy red plastic cap on my 81'.

Steve J.

My '78 Euro, #975, came with the metal gas cap. It is quite heavy.

Thaddeus

Mine is unlockable... I'd like a metal one I think... the search is on!

I've got the red plastic gap on my '79, and if I dont orient the grip just right my fuel door will not close completely. Does the metal cap have a shorter profile?
