Ted, The good news is that your tank is the same as all 61-69 cars. When
removing and replacing it, I recommend replacing the filler neck, overflow
and tank to body hoses. While you are at it, you might also replace the
filler neck to body grommet. New tanks and the above parts along with gauge
sending units are all available from most of the Corvair parts venders. 

Currently, I am out of new tanks but have them on order. All the other parts
are in stock.

I posted about my 1960-700 CORVAIR fuel tank.  One helpful member sent 
me a URL with pictures of a 1960-700.  I enjoyed the pictures and then 
realized that my engine compartment was different than the pictures.

I dug out the title and it said 1961.  I was told it was a 1960 when I 
bought it and I am the title said 1960, and I never looked at the title 
when I got the new one in my name.

Found a website and ran the VIN.  It is a 1961.  So I still have a gas 
tank problem, but got some good advice which I will use when I get time 
and the right weather (no workshop).

It is virtually stock as the little old lady made no changes, nor have 
I.  Needs a battery tray and paint.

Thanks for the gas tank advice and the picture advice.

So, I have egg on my face and am standing by for some razzing.
