Macs shows a listing for a '71 tank.  Not sure if the formal & fastback use the same tank and the listing does not note which it's for (?).

Welcome! I can see what you mean, the F54A tank for the 71 is out of stock everywhere (and the F53A for the '70 too).

This may be your best bet and should buy it soon before it disappears! https://www.ebay.com/p/1917817957

I don't see actual availability here but worth a shot: https://www.gastanks.com/1971-Torino-Cyclone-Montego-Except-SW/productinfo/F-54A/

Welcome!  I upgraded you to a new member, so you have full forum access.  I also moved your post to the 70-71 section which may get your more answers.  

If you can't get a repro tank, you could consider the fuel tank RENU process.  See this thread below which details the process that a member did on a 1973 Torino.

The places below have gas tanks for sale, but i do not know if they will ship the part to you. The 2 door and 4 door cars probably use the same tanks, but the ranchero and station wagons probably use different tanks.
