"herbies" Fuel Filler
« on: March 25, 2008, 12:56:02 PM »
OK, I'm sure everyone on here knows the style of fuel filler that they used on Herbie in "Monte Carlo" right?  Where the hell can a guy find one of those things?  I've Googled my heart out and I found them on Mooneyes site, but I think I could find one cheaper than 300 bucks.  I guess it would be the same thing, or something very similar to what Geoff used on the Heb-Rod.
Any ideas?

What does it look like?  I have come across many different filler caps and spouts while looking for something different.

Lets see a pic so we can help out.

The gas cap in the Herbie movie was off of a Shelby Cobra just case you're going for being completely authentic. I know of where you can get a mock up of one like it if you're interested.
