260/289 Shelby Cobra Optional Valve covers - originals

this is a great set of very early  sandcast Cobra powered by Ford valve covers for 260/289 Ford engines.  These were the factory covers listed on one of the Group options when ordering a small block Cobra in 63 or 64.  and were sold by Shelby American in their early cobra dressup kits These early covers were never reproduced and have no markings like the later covers  which then had the Buddy Bar on the inside.  Guaranteed to be originals.  we did a full restoration as they are  almost 60 years old and needed some love.  they were in peally nice shape prior and we didnt have to weld anything  which is rare.  They were cleaned in a jet spray washer,  low pressure glass beaded with fine beads.   any small nicks  were removed from the to be polished areas.  beaded with the proper coarse grit.  finds and letters were carefully sanded to a 600 Grit finish and then sent to the polisher for the factory mirror finish.   Cleaned and ready to install.  will fit all 260/289 engines with a front mount oil fill tube in timing chain cover.  We acquired these for a customer that wanted this look but changed directions when he went to weber carbs..  First $1200 plus the ride.  We perfer paypal friends and family but will take a check or CC.  we will carefully package these in foam and will ship worldwide  .  920 434 3645    Jim@shelbyparts.com
