$200?! omfgruseriousritenow?

if those were "originals" they surely could fetch that if a fella wanted em, whatever that is. I don't know the first hard fact about that particular cover but nah.
You prolly could have bought a crate block with those on it or likely out of a dealership but i'd bet the farm them never rolled off a showroom.
Dude.
I have bought SUPER.PIMP. ones for WAY cheaper than that.
Even if those were YOUR.BAG. , I still think it's too high.
i'd offer $50 or a Ben and see what he says if you want em. lol screw that dude. what's he gonna do?

fifty bucks.
:flamingdevil:

I remember seeing them back in the pro street days when I was young. Even then I thought they were kind of odd. Now they would be neat to hang on the garage wall, but ain't no way for 200 bucks.

The ads, brochures and decals were cool. The big hearts on the valve covers... eh.

You remember the ads in the 1970's "Baseball hotdogs apple pie and Chevrolet" ?

I wasn't around then. Born in '81. I know OF them, that counts for something, right? Lol.

Said this before in a different thread, "See the USA in your Chevrolet, America's the greatest land of all!!" The Dinah Shore show. Some called it the Chevy Show. Late 50's early 60's

If give him 50. Then polish the **** outta them and repaint the red. :naughty:

Those old school Heartbeat valve covers are cool but not worth that price.

The mods may not allow this based on posting rules...LOL.

I only paid a little more than that for these for my boat motor.
Price included the extra tall covers and engraving which was my own design.
