Ebay em with a $1000 reserve. Those are nice real ones...

I would be very surprised if they bring over $400-$500 on Ebay. Small block covers are not in high demand, but certainly are rare. hose covers need a lot of work to bring them back. I see the original BB sets going in the $500-$1000+ range.

I sent Steve numerous PM's regarding the valve covers. I bought near perfect sbc MP valve covers for $300 and cannot foresee these being worth the coin. The valve covers are not worth much because they are still produced today by Mr. Gasket (I think) and are readily available.

I think anything over $250 is too much. You'd get more money selling the emblems... which I told Steve I'd have NO issue taking off his hands...

Sorry to deliver bad news but those valve covers are not originals. Those Motion name plates look like they just came out of a box.

I disagree. I compared these to originals I have and they match up just fine.

Hey Dan just to make sure send your Motion emblems to me I'll double check them..........

how can they like they just came out of a box, when they look like they have been sitting around for a long time?
