Buying a new one is the fastest most efficient way to make a tank have all the cosmetic benefits of a new tank without the time lost on making a ratty tank look like a new tank.  Best $200 bucks I could spend.

THE '89 250 TANK WAS SMALLER AND SLIMMER THAN THE 500 TANKS. So curious as to what this clark tank would be ....
