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:

Land Rover Freelander 2: the official 2011 facelift
Wed, 04 Aug 2010Efficiency, it seems, is the name of the game these days and Land Rover is no exception to playing the green card. With a new range of diesel engines and some sleeker style, the 2011 Freelander 2 is said to be more powerful and efficient than the outgoing model. First there was the FWD Evoque.
First Sight: Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupe
Wed, 18 Apr 2012The third installment of Mercedes-Benz's ‘small' car family will receive its global preview with a close-to-production concept set to debut at the Beijing motor show next week, but Car Design News has gained an early peek of the official images and details. The Concept Style Coupe heralds the much-vaunted ‘mini-CLS' compact four-door coupe production car (rumored to be dubbed BLS or CLA) that's slated to go on sale in the second half of 2013. It's based on the same new platform – called MFA for ‘Mercedes Front-wheel drive Architecture' – that has already spawned the new A- and B-Class cars.
New Lotus Elite: Top-Down +video
Wed, 13 Oct 2010New Lotus Elite (2014) Top Down I think we’ve just about got over the surprise of a New Lotus Elite dropping from a clear blue sky in the week before the Paris Motor Show. What we still haven’t completely got our heads around is the plethora of models subsequently revealed at the show itself. Yes, we were expecting the new Lotus Esprit – even if we reckoned we might have got that wrong after the New Elite showed up – but we hadn’t reckoned on the new Elan, the new Eterne and the new Elise as well (never mind a City Car concept).
