Yes, preferably with the "Oldsmobile" lettering, but I was hoping to get a good deal on a pair.

They are still for sale at www.gmpartsdirect.com , part number 22525295 for $121.87 each plus shipping. Shipping tends to be expensive there. They are also available through your local GM dealer for list price, $147.90 each

Thanks, I didn't realize there were two types. I should have read the notes I have on the covers:

Also is the Tall valve covers made for Oldsmobile. The original had the word BATTEN with the word OLDS below it. They were replaced by the ones with OLDSMOBILE in script. (Mondello bought a bunch of these and may still have some). The one that is currently available from GM is part
22525295 and is $105.07 each. Has the word OLDSMOBILE in block letters with the Rocket logo. Thick tall cast aluminum, for no A/C

Script valve covers

I received your PM. Unfortunately, I sold the valve covers to Baaad Andy. He had polished them for me and I sold them for $350. This is one of his ads on fleabay-

Bill @ BTR has aset of Magnesium ones that are lighter and real hard to find-

You do have a lot of other options to clear your rockers. I have a set of Moroso's that are painted flat black I would give you so you can run your car 'til you find a good set for a good price. I also have a set of Holleys and M/T covers for sale. Theres a couple of companys that make a billet spacer for using stock type covers.
