The locking cap under my flip is a Stant that I picked up at AutoZone for $10 or $20, I forget, but it's an aftermarket unit that works just fine.

I just bought a non-locking cap that fits under the flip top for $10.00 on ebay.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mopar-1970-71-E-body-Challenger-Gas-Cap-under-flip-top_W0QQitemZ290192358313QQihZ019QQcategoryZ33556QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem

It's not compliant enough to easily tighten onto the filler neck opening though.  I was able to install it without the rubber gasket, but it's not ideal.  Better than the rag I had in there before...

From the ebay listing:

You are buying 1 gas cap enough to do 1 car

I just have to wonder, did he have a lot of problems with buyers thinking he sold two caps?
