"Barn Find"

Are you restoring a classic early 60's
Corvette or Impala? 

These parts may be the "barn find" you have been looking for!  Removed from a 1955 Chevy Street Racer
after 40+ years in garage.

FIN Aluminum
Valve Covers
These are "period correct"
for your

1959-1965 Corvette
327 C. I. Engine 

 

One pair nice used and unrestored original GM Corvette 327 7-finned aluminum valve covers. 

These are "Period Correct" for your March, 1959  to about March, 1966 Corvette 327 engine.

  • In March 1959, 327 heads were changed and valve cover mounting holes were moved in, changing from a 'staggered' hole pattern to a 'parallel' hole pattern.
     

  • Early 1966 and later valve covers contain a casting flaw across the 'o' in Corvette.  That flaw continued through production end, is well documented, and many a classic restoration has been judged down for having the incorrect valve covers.

The condition is very nice with just some minor pitting in the aluminum.  The finish has been untouched and has never been glass beaded or blasted.  You can bead, or polish them and finish them to taste.  There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. 

The P/N is 3767493 and the name LESTER is (correctly) and clearly stamped inside.

These covers were removed from a 1955 Chevy Street Racer that the Corvette engine was dropped into around 1964.  It was parked, garaged, in 1972 and sat untouched until 2009.

Peugeot 107 Verve Review & Road Test part two

Sat, 10 Apr 2010

Peugeot 107 Verve Road Test The 107 is a great first car – easy to drive, easy to park, insurance group 1E (so it won’t cost an arm and a leg to get a bit of no claims going), so much so I’ve already recommended it to a friend who is looking to buy her first car after passing her test. But with the starting price of the Peugeot 107 Verve at £9,170 it’s a little pricey for what you get, even thought that includes AirCon, alloys, CD player and mp3 point as standard. As a fun, economical and stylish City car the 107 Verve presses most of the right buttons.
