Topic: what do you call this in the USA

[malcolmgb]

over here in England I would call it a rocker cover, what name do you give it in the USA?

I'm thinking of putting it on Ebay, do you think it would sell? It would look ok polished and hung on the wall I thought. There is a small bit of damage which has been 'epoxyed' over so not sure it would be usable, although I did take it off a running Stingray in the 70's.

Valve cover.
I doubt with the epoxy it will sell for much of anything.
Shoot me a PM with what you want for it with shipping , and I might take it off your hands for ya...

thanks for the offer PT, but If I sell it will be on Ebay, I enjoy the thrill of the chase, I really must get out more

When my Indian got whacked, I sold the front fender that looked like an acordian for $75. I just listed it almost as a joke.  Shipping was $75, too.  There is no way that thing could be straightened.

Dont expect to get big money for one (1) valve cover - but i have been wrong before.
Once of twice...

yes there were 2, the 'Boss' only allowed me to keep the damaged one, I had to fit 2 polished after market one's as I remember. Not expecting big money for it, just that every now and then I have to clear out bits I collected, I just can't bear to throw anything away. It has hung in my shed since the 70's and I just thought someone else could get some use/enjoyment from it. I saw a pair at a recent Autojumble here in the UK priced at £90 which I thought was very expensive.

hope you get 100 pounds for it

then tell the missus she can have 10% of the money for letting you hang on to it..it may help her understand the value of the old stuff us blokes tend to hoard - but never really want to go to the bother of selling..

I believe it will sell. SB Chevy parts will probably always sell. I still have a set of finderskirts for a 62 Chevy SS  and a set of hubcaps for a 67 Olds Cutlass hangind in my shop I just can't get rid of.Dannie  P.S. Wish I still had the cars they went too.Dannie
