Default Mystery Yenko valve covers on ebay...

Item 2424307877 are advertised as "found in a speed shop". These covers look nothing like originals I have seen. There is a ridge stamped in those covers that all the real Yenko ones I have seen do not have. Also the tab area at the bottom of the covers are stamped unlike the real deals I have seen. If the covers are real they would of been in a Yenko box. Either with the mailing address or a brown box with a red Yenko crest. The stamped crest appears not to have the three stars either. Buyer beware on this item. If these are real, they are not at all like the literature pictures or the real ones in my collection..BKH

These are bogus...The seller has been selling taiwan repro BBC chrome covers and those finned ones for a long time... He puts a repro tonawanda decal in the middle of the finned ones and calls them "factory"... I like how he says "he found a case"... to cover his butt as to why there will be 15 more sets on ebay in the weeks to come. Save your money.

Supercar Kid,
I think your wrong about those valve covers being bogus-I found an original set of "MOTION PERFORMANCE" valve covers the same way and it had a "MOITION" plate right on top of the valve covers..---JoeG- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
