Although it is a Ford part, it is not factory correct.  I think this was the result of trying to put a small Band-Aid on the concerns about rear mounted gas tanks.

I've also seen Ford service pop open gas cap shell with the twist off cap hidden below, listed as NOS.  I think that description is a bit of a stretch myself.

Kinda what I thought.
Thanks

Technically it is NOS -unused, 20+ years old. And it's an extreme example of the mantra that's repeated here so often, that an official Ford service part does not necessarily equal what was used on the production line!

[maybe NOS stands for Not Original Stuff?  ;)]
