I'm pretty sure it's a GM screw in cap.  Any auto parts store should be able to supply a cap.

Agreed…. Or auto graveyard!

Thanks guys. I just wasn’t sure where to start. My car looks like an amalgamation of parts. Ignition switch (and key) look to be of Chrysler heritage.

Engine/Trans is GM. Frame is Studebaker!  It’s interesting!

Call Dan Booth at Nostalgic Motors.  He was an Avanti dealer through the Blake era.  If he doesn’t have a NOS cap in stock he’ll know what car it came from.

cue Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors" and you'll understand Avanti sourcing.

I think I responded to your inquiry on FB, but if someone missed it: I bought a plastic gas cap at AutoZone for around $12. Fits just fine, but you have to align it to clear the chintzy keyed lock Mr Blake put on the filler door. Don't get me started on other oddities found on Blake Avantis 😵‍💫
