New 30 year old Offanhauser Valve covers

These are brand new, never mounted, in the box, with instructions and decals included-----the box is a little rough. These haven't been produced for many many years and would give you something you never will see again. $250 + the ride. Located in central NC. PM me with your email address for pics.

It would help if we knew what they fit. Since they are 30 years old they could be for a 303-394 or are they for 330-455.

Those are perhaps the coolest Olds valve covers I've ever seen -- good luck with sale.

Thanks for posting them. By the way the dog is 15years old and more racers know him than know me. I am "the guy with the dog"........I didn't respond to anyone today because I was at Piedmonts "Mini Millions" race today

Actually they are in page 276 of the new Summit catalog for $249.97. That's a savings of $0.03 if my math is correct

Sorry if my info is wrong but THESE have been in my possession since 1979. Thats, what, 34 years. I'll bet these weren't made in China!

Surprise-surprise---Looks like I should have sold these before they decided to re-produce them. I just took a look and it says "NEW" like they just now started to make them------so I'll take $250 shipped for the real deal made in the USA. Is that better?
