Valve covers on ebay

MotownMadman · #1 03-08-2003, 12:38 AM

Dave, My M/T valve covers still have the 427 on each side, still have the drippers and the reason I had thought it was a GM part# is because they say Chevrolet on the inside right by the number. Joe, I have a old muscle car review here that has what I thought was a Dana with them, but it turns out it is a Harrell that has them on it. Anyway, anybody needs a set I have a nice pair.

I checked on the Ford ones I have and it says Ford by the number also. I know several people that are looking for the ones you have. Shoot me an email at [email protected]

Face it you got screwed. The ones you have are from Speedway. I'm 100% certain. Look at it another way. be positive. You just bought them 15 years too soon.

Jegs has a couple M/T covers on display in the retail showroom and you can't believe the crap Holley is producing. Lots of grind marks, small air bubbles and just junk. They were/are massed produced by $7 hour employees who drink their lunch on occasion and can't wait to go home.

Frank, you did well enough on the Mustang you can put those on your lawn tractor and track down an original set. Dont sacrifice nothing on that pretty Chevelle!

What's the scoop on the ones with YENKO 427 cast into the top? They seem to be selling for around 300-350?

I watch people bid on these clearly fake homemade junk Yenko valve covers on ebay all the time. Yet a real Berger wisk broom gets flamed. I don't get it. Don't you think it funny that these "rare" one of a kind covers can get bought every day on the bay. I have lots of Yenko liturature and nowere are they mentioned. The only aftermarket valve cover that I have seen that Harrell used are Edelbrock. Most just kept the original Chevrolet issued versions. I would love to see the "real' paperwork on these Yenko treasures...BKH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

Throw them back on Ebay, you'll probably get most of your monay back. Either that or give the guy negative feedback for selling repo's as real originals. Remember, he's still making a killing off people and that's not right. I would definitely contact the seller and make him return your money or get him kicked off Ebay.

Brian; I agree. What amazes me, everyone here is scared to death that someone will sell a fake car as real, but then turn around and bid/promote obvious fakes items. As with the cars, all it takes is doing a little home work. And when buying many of these itmes, you are actually buying illegal stuff, as most of the folks producing this stuff never ask permission, much less pay for the rights to use the logo. I have even had it happen with the sYc. Much of the buying of non authorized items is taking from the very families we worship. It is amazing the attitude some of these counterfieters have when asked if they have permissiom from the holder of the rights. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]
