Old style, stock GM valve covers

Anyone got a nice (not rusty) set of old style GM valve covers, parimiter bolt?

I don't want any chrome tinfoil mr gasket covers. Just the stock ones, like in the picture below:

My special, fancy, expensive aftermarket covers are a little too tall and whack my turbo.

85-86 TPI only style..... I've got a couple pair.

Not sure of thier condition but I'll check into it; Should still have at least 1 set that was blasted and re-painted as well as some factory original used covers ( with some rust pitting )

Let me know if restored parts or original used condition parts ( minor defect or 2 ) are best for you. Feel free to make an offer and be sure to include your ZIP code for a shipping quote.

I don't even know where to begin.

If you wanna just PM me condition and your asking price for either set shipped to 03079, we can go from there.

I'll get into the garage tomorrow and will pull them out so I can take some pics. Once I know more I'll send you an update with what i find.

Re: Old style, stock GM valve covers

A couple others have asked about these covers after I posted here; Joe gets first pick......



Here are the pics:


Set 1 : Typical used $35 + shipping, didn't notice and dings, several rusty spots,........








Blasted / re-painted, $55 + shipipng. A very small ding on bottom near corner of the valve cover to the left in the pics, ( drivers side top rear when mounted )and there's a few marks on them from being handled too. They could use a quick clean-up and re-spray before installing them to look thier very best.







Blasted / re-painted $75 + shipping: Very good used condition.








I didn't get shipping quotes for anyone yet but will get them ASAP once I know that someone is seriously interested.

John,

I'll take the $55 ones. Can you give me a total with shipping to 03079 and your paypal info? I'd like to get this transaction done asap.

Re: Old style, stock GM valve covers

I also have a set. I replaced them with a chrome set. One has a slight problem though. Looks like somebody was cutting the air tubes off the ex manifolds with a grinder and cut a small slit in the driver cover at the back. I never even knew until I took them off. The slit was filled with silicone and never leaked. If your interested in them you can just have them, you pay shipping of course.
