I've seen worse. I ran into a guy with a euro 240 that got an aux tank installed, because his tank would only hold... 6 gallons...!!! it was nigh flat. he thought it was because of the wrong fuel cap, and I explained to him about the bell behind the car... he'd drilled a hole in his filler cap to keep it from happening.
the amazing thing is it only takes about 8" vacuum to collapse the tank... and about 3 or 4 psi to refill it.
I've put the cap on, plugged the fuel line, and blew with shop air, and popped the tank back to nearly perfect shape. but the creases are always there, and I think they will rust. a tank swap is best.
