[WANTED] Shot in the dark. Looking for a pair of p4876124 valve covers

[cactusspines]

It is Christmas and I want to get something for my new Small Block build. I am finally collecting parts for my 1941 Plymouth Coupe (finished my 10 year Hot Rod Model A build-took long enough ) and these would definitely be a nice way to class up the engine.

If anyone has a set they no longer need, I am interested in buying them.

Steve just bought a set still in boxes. I had the hardware from a previous set. He paid $800

I always considered them W2 valve covers. I'd love to have a set if I ever got around to using my W2's. They go together like peas in a pod.

Sound like there are still out there. Would love an opportunity like that.

I can ask him if he would sell them. I remember back when they were available I had bought them. They were around $400 and the fastener kit /studs and nuts were around $100. I had a couple sets I had milled off to get rid of the fins to polish them. They will not polish. This is the set I still had the stud set from. Steve's are new in the box never used with the stud set from this set pictured. I don't think he would sell them for what he paid. But I can ask and get pictures if you want to make an offer.

I would definitely like an unmolested pair. I like the fins and MOPAR Performance Logo on these, otherwise I could just get the sheetmetal style that are readily available. I am kind of a nut with vintage parts, as reference my 1930 Model A has a 1963 Buick Nailhead and I searched for over 10 years to find a matching set of original Weiand Valve and Wire Loom Covers.

It is always worth it to me to make my car stand out and be functional.

The only set I have seen in person is on a friends car, which has been off the road for more than 15 years and will more than likely stay on that engine until he passes. He won't sell them, I have tried.

At the end of the day I don't want to put anyone out if they have plans to use them, but if there is a clean set out there and the owner does want to sell I will have to pay what the market dictates, as they are no longer being made.
