1965 Newport fuel tank?

I'm having a heck of a time finding a new one, any suggestions? Everywhere is either discontinued or they only carry back to 1967. Original one may or may not be restore-able and I'd like to have a source for a new one and other hard to get Mopar parts.

It isn't reproduced. You'll either have to restore yours or find a clean original one.

Thanks to both of you, hopefully the original can be 'fixed'. its sat for who knows how long with less than 1/2 tank and was full of sediment. I was able to wash out a large amount with solvent but the rust scale on the rest which was exposed to air inside is beyond my scope of repair. it was taken to a radiator shop and I don't yet know their outcome. We'll media blast the filler neck inside to make sure it does not let loose any rust scale.
