    1971 911E oil tank

    Was going to sell my oil tank. I'm going the 911R route.
    How can I tell if my tank is in fact a '71? The car has gone through some changes in its life to say the least.

    Curved edge is early SWB tank, '64-68. Later 69-71 had straight edge.
    Here is the thread when I was looking into the different tanks.

    The oil level sending unit will have a date code on it under the dirt, which will give an idea if it is original.

    Hard to tell but the bottom numbers appear to be 11/67
