Rare Chevrolet Day 2 Big Block Valve Covers??
 
3 Attachment(s)
Picked these up at a swap meet yesterday. The seller said they were sold over the counter by Chevrolet dealers in the early 70s. I just bought them for the Day 2 look. Has Chevrolet and "739" stamped on the inside of one of them.

Anyone know the story on these?

Look like Ansen. Nice valve covers!

I kind of think I remember these from old Berger Chevrolet ads, but not sure.

Thanks for the info. I'm wondering if they were actual Chevrolet parts, they both would have had a real Chevrolet part number on them.

Yes. I had a set of “motion” valve covers that were made by ansen which had the same 739 & Chevrolet markings inside. I haven’t seen any like yours with the bow tie, very cool!

Thanks for the info. Sounds like Ansen is the common theme so far.

I have a pair of those on a boat motor.

Lee, did you have those blasted? Looks like a satin finish on them. I've got a set that I think are Ansen that were polished when new and I was thinking of having them blasted to look like what you have. Right now they look kind of like the ones Zoom has. https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...ighlight=ansen
