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:

Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing testing Video
Wed, 25 Mar 2009Mercedes Benz has released footage of the SLS AMG testing But I suppose if there’s enough interest in a car, and the pictures are appearing anyway, you may as well do it yourself and put the car across as you want it. But Mercedes Benz has now gone one better – the Official Spy Video! Yes, footage direct from Mercedes of the SLS AMG testing in full disguise.
Ford B-Max (2012) goes into the great wide open
Thu, 08 Mar 2012Ford hopes a less-is-more approach will lure punters to its new B-max MPV, unique in the supermini segment for having a big hole in the central cockpit instead of a structural pillar. The result is a flexible people mover that's a doddle to load with kids or cargo, Ford claims, thanks to its pillarless opening and sliding rear door. The novel doors landed the £12,500 people mover in the same must-see company as Bentley's grotesque SUV concept and Ferrari's beautiful F12.
