Rare Chevrolet Day 2 Big Block Valve Covers??
 

Picked these up at a swap meet yesterday. The seller said they were sold over the counter by Chevrolet dealers in the early 70s. I just bought them for the Day 2 look. Has Chevrolet and "739" stamped on the inside of one of them.

Anyone know the story on these?

Look like Ansen. Nice valve covers!

"sold over the counter by Chevrolet dealers in the early 70s"...

I kind of think I remember these from old Berger Chevrolet ads, but not sure.

Thanks for the info. I'm wondering if they were actual Chevrolet parts, they both would have had a real Chevrolet part number on them.

Yes. I had a set of “motion” valve covers that were made by ansen which had the same 739 & Chevrolet markings inside. I haven’t seen any like yours with the bow tie, very cool!

Thanks for the info. Sounds like Ansen is the common theme so far.

Swear I've seen those before..
Grab an old 1980's Chevy Power Catalog if you can.

Whom ever offended them. Damn there COOL!!!!! Awesome find. Rob

I have a pair of those on a boat motor.

Lee, did you have those blasted? Looks like a satin finish on them. I've got a set that I think are Ansen that were polished when new and I was thinking of having them blasted to look like what you have. Right now they look kind of like the ones Zoom has. https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...ighlight=ansen

I media blasted them and rattle can painted them with Alumiblast paint, if they were going in a car I would of left them raw aluminum, in a boat environment they would of gotten ugly quick.

I actually prefer how yours look compared to the polished aluminum.

Yeah, I'm the same way. Polished aluminum is too much trouble to keep polished, and I like the satin look. My tunnel ram was polished and I had it blasted.

Lee, I really like the look of yours blasted & painted, but I think I will stick with the Patina look they have for now.

Saw these on a car at North Shore Classics in Mundelein, IL.

Just found a set of these local to me for $70 is that a good deal?

I'd sure give $70 for them if they don't have a bunch of holes in them.

$70 is a great deal. Wish I paid that!!!

Thanks I think i'll pick them up!
