I've never seen that valve cover before, The only Boss 302 valve covers I have ever seen are the flat top production ones.

The valve covers were an over the counter part at the Ford Dealers, back in the Early 70's. They are tough to find almost impossible. Sorry this one is not for sale. oh yeah, it was out of a mustang. I will get some closer pics for you so you can see the covers up close.

Those valve covers are ultra rare. There was a guy on EBay selling a NOS set for approx $900 which sounds expensive but I think it is also a real girdle of some sort.

They were on there for months and then they disappeared.

He had them listed like 5-8 times. I do not think they ever sold. I was wacthing them but the auction is too old and comes up blank. He had them under a Pantera heading. There was even a mention of them on a couple of the Pantera Forums. Maybe with a post you can find him as he was selling other Pantera parts.

Good luck!!

Default Foose cars

He is just about finished up with a totally bad ass 70 HEMI Cuda, which I believe is going to be at SEMA this year, and a 71 Cutlass convertible for Tim Mcgraw, which too should be pretty sweet. He's got other projects but they are hush hush ridler stuff, so it's kind of like christmas you can't see your presents until Christmas day, so no peeking!!!

thanks for the info..will look forward to seeing them...i really wish Chip would have a website like some other builders like Troy Trepanier so you can see his work from start to finish...very few will ever have the inside scoop on how much fab work he has into his Riddler style creations.

Default SEMA's Almost here and we're almost done

well it's been awhile since I was last on here but the car is almost done and it turned out a lot better than anticipated. The motor was a huge head ache. After sending it out for machine work we found that the heads were no good so we found an original set of 67 aluminum tunnel port heads, and then we ended up stroking the motor. Now we are pushing approx. 780 H.P. !!! The car will be in Gear Vendors Booth @ Sema next week be sure to stop by and check it out
