Top pair, left, might be 67-69 Camaro, 68-69 Nova. Any wire clips? and need an image of the end nearest the firewall of the one on top.

Top pair, right, second down looks like it might be 69 Camaro/Nova. It has the wire clip on the driver's side lower edge. Is that all the clips? Need a better image of the end nearest the firewall.

I will snap some pictures tomorrow while cleaning them. Dan, not showing off, I just don't like to be an ignorant seller. Also, if a member needs a pair I would like to give them first shot. I know you were just poking fun.

No, these covers came out of a large buy out in Northern California. Unfortunately, I have not been to Pomona or Long Beach for quite sometime.

OK, I gave the covers a quick cleaning and took some pictures. I tried my best to pair the covers up properly. These covers were boxed all together so I was not sure which went with eachother. I was able to pair a few from gaskets, etc. I really just used my best judgement on the rest. Pictures coming.

Don and Martin,


Did the pictures help at all? Does it look like I have the covers paired correctly?


Thanks,


Jason

Well Jason, seems you've got a real hodge-podge of maybe everything. I've marked a couple on the attachment of your original picture which seem to have the shape of a 69 Chevelle. However, I don't know which ones in the other photos are these two. Most of your descriptions provide multiple clips, but there was just the one clip on the 69 Chevelle cover (driver side outside).
