did FABO miss the boat ?

I figured I had better repost this swapmeet find in the racers part of the forum. Is it just me (which it probably is) or are these valve covers growing on trees ?? I very well know it's what it means to me and beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that stuff. The box still has the 1988 shipping label to the dealership- a year after mopar proformance became the new mopar parts brand name ? The box has been opened, but its very obvious these have never been on a car. There's even a little sealed baggy with the two rubber grommets and a folded up piece of paper which could be the instructions? From 1988 (or older) I'm sure it's not instructions that say- do not let your child swallows small parts or plastic?
Again this could be all my personal perception of what they mean to me. I called my son and told him about them and he said "don't put them on the car!" Leave them in the box, there more valuable that way. I said I'm putting them on the car they've spent to long in a box with no one getting to see them.
now I'm not sure of putting RTV all over the gasket, but there going on.
