I had heard that before. This however appears to be a duplicate of the metal tank that is hard plastic.......magnet wont stick and it flexs if pushed hard enough.....Factory one's were all galvanized metal. NASCAR experimented with a rubber lined tank for the '65 season. Putting a puncture resistant rubber lining in the tanks was designed to prevent large fuel leaks in the event of a major crash. With some modifications, the rubber lined tanks became the NASCAR standard for the '66 racing season.

NO OEM plastic fuel tanks until the later 1980s, as I recall. ...
