CONDITION: GOOD USED...SOLD AS-IS!
WHAT I AM SELLING HERE IS AN ORIGINAL PAIR OF 331-354-392 CHRYSLER-HEMI "DONOVAN" VALVE COVERS OFF OF A "SOAPY SALES" DRAG CAR! I BOUGHT THEM MANY YEARS BACK FROM A FAMOUS OLD HOT-ROD BUILDER...WHO SAID THAT HE GOT THEM BACK IN THE 1970's ...WHEN HE USED TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE "SOAPY SALES" RACE CARS! I DODN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT FIRST...I JUST WANTED A VINTAGE PAIR OF "DONOVAN" VALVE-COVERS FOR A 392 CHRYSLER-HEMI THAT I WANTED TO BUILD...AND THESE FIT THE BILL! ORIGINALLY, I WAS JUST GOING TO REMOVE THE "SOAPY SALES" ENGRAVING FROM THE VALVE-COVERS, BUT THEN A FRIEND OF MINE SUGGESTED THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT HAD AN ORIGINAL CAR...AND THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AN ORIGINAL PAIR OF VALVE-COVERS TO GO WITH IT! BESIDES, I REALLY DIDN'T CARE...AS LONG AS I HAD A SET OF "DONOVAN" COVERS FOR MY MOTOR! SO ANYWAY, THAT'S WHY THEY ARE FOR SALE NOW! THEY LOOK TO BE IN NICE CONDITION...HOWEVER, I CAN SEE WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN MODIFIED AND REPAIRED OVER THE YEARS...PROBABLY SO THAT THEY COULD BE USED WITH THE CHRYSLER-HEMI VALVE-TRAIN GEAR THAT WAS EVOLVING IN THE 1960's and 1970's! HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF LARRY'S DRAGSTER AS IT WAS DISPLAYED AT THE 2013 CALIFORNIA HOT ROD REUNION IN BAKERSFIELD:

Aston Martin DB Junior Convertible is a fully functioning, petrol-powered toy Aston (video)
Sat, 01 Feb 2014The Aston martin DB Junior Convertible (pictured) – for the child who has everything If you’re an Aston Martin fan and you have children there’s now the perfect way to get them on-side with your love of Astons- buy them the Aston Martin DB Junior Convertible from Aston Heritage dealers Nicholas Mee & Co. For a not insignificant £16,500 (thankfully including VAT) Nicholas Mee will give you a fully functioning, petrol-powered toy Aston Martin Db Convertible with composite coachwork, leather or vinyl upholstery, a wood-rimmed steering wheel and hydraulic disc brakes. The Db Juniot measure 2500mm long and is 1030mm wide and gets its power from a 110cc four-stroke engine, complete with electric start, which can get the DB Junior to 46mph (although you can restrict it) and comes with proper grown-up car stuff like Brembo disc brakes, 3-speed semi-auto ‘box, indicators and lights.
2013 Audi RS6 Avant: 190mph & 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The 2013 Audi RS6 Avant has been revealed with a V8 552bhp Twin Scroll Turbo delivering 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and up to 190mph. The 2013 Audi RS6 Avant comes with a 552bhp version of the twin-scroll V8 found in the latest, most powerful Audis (and the Bentley Continental GT V8) which, despite being 28bhp down on the power of the old V10 RS6 (although it does have 37lb/ft more torque – 516lb/ft) can get to 62mph in a supercar-bashing 3.9 seconds and, in standard guise, 155mph. But spend more than the £77k Audi will want for the new RS6 Avant by opting for the Dynamic Package and top speed increases to 174mph.
