Another FB marketplace score. The engine in the car currently is a 60s 327. I ran across this pair of NOS valve covers. Again, the guy DELIVERED them to my office. He bought them from the dealer in 1965 and they have NEVER been installed on a car. He shipped out to Viet Nam right after the purchase. In the 80s, he got a wild hair and decided to have them powder coated. Bought NOS decals at the same time. They are gorgeous. I almost hate to install them, but will. They were about 1/3 the price of a new set of reproductions.

Only problem with OEM stamped steel valve covers is warpage. Waiting on some high quality spreader bars to install.
