"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.

Vintage Corvette
7 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.

2014 Nissan Qashqai teased again – and almost revealed

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

2014 Nissan Qashqai teased again – and almost revealed Nissan has been bust teasing the 2014 Qashqai ahead of its reveal later this week, and today we get the latest tease which actuallt reveals the front end. The last tease only managed to show us the new Qashqai under a dust sheet in a tunnel, but this time we get a head-on view of the Qashqai to give us a few clues about its new look. The bonnet has more flowing lines than before which continue down in to the chrome element of the grill which, although similar in shape, is more integrated than before with slimmer headlights with integrated, v-shaped running lights.

Festival of the Unexceptional: the bad cars we love

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Ever been to a classic car show and noticed how many old MGBs and sports cars of yesteryear have turned up, driven by their proud owners, but wondered what happened to all the more mainstream stuff? There are twice as many Ferrari 308 GTBs on the roads in the UK than Austin Allegros, because the everyday cars of the past fail MOTs, get chucked away and replaced with shiny new hatchbacks. Fortunately, there is a select group of people in the UK who care for the mundane stuff of yesterday and, because of this, a new event for “unexceptional” cars will be taking place this summer.
