Description: I purchased a very nice authentic 1st Gen big block Camaro in 2023. The car had the L89 #842 aluminum heads on it with the 375hp tach and 375hp air cleaner and a 140MPH speedo. However, these valve covers came loose with some other spare parts I was told belonged to the same car. The seller called these valve cover's and a few other parts "removed factory equipment". From my understanding the engine was modified and was fitted with taller valve covers likely to clear roller rocker arms and some other speed mods. These covers to the best of my knowledge have been stored inside for quite some time, possibly since the 1990's-- 25-30 years. I assume these are GM originals part number 3916137 and 3902390 as it seems they were in storage before reproductions were available. They have the drippers, the two temp wire sender tabs for 1967 ONLY and for Camaro and Chevelle or Yenko 427 only equipped with solid lifters as Special High Performance. So, I am selling them as likely GM originals as they were represented to me, but no guarantees.The only other covers I have found ever sold that look like these and are not original GM #3916137 and GM #3902390 are the USA Made Assembly Line Correct pair sold by Heart Beat City. And even those are $579.95 a pair! The oil filler cap has the "S" marking. What you see is what you get. The chrome is still in exceptionally good condition--especially if they are 50+ year old. I would think the condition is good because they were taken off and put up inside as indoor storage. These would have also been used by Don Yenko on 427 conversions back in the day, according to my research--in addition to factory installed to 1967 Camaro and Chevelle by GM's Tonawanda NY engine plant.
