The vette picture did not show up the 1st time I looked at your pix. HEY, how did you do that? I think the valve covers are correct painted - not a vette guy tho. Don't have a good answer for the air cleaner cover - that does not appear correct.

So is that the Corvette that you were talking about?

Bruce... that red Corvette is a 1965 L-78. The painted semi-black air cleaner cover and valve covers were standard equit. A dull chrome air cleaner cover for BBC cars was a '66 change. The chrome valve covers only came on L-89 '67 Vettes.

All 396, 427 Vettes ('65, '66, '67) got painted orange valve covers unless the L-89 option was added.

Thanks Daniel...the mystery SYC member and I had a discussion as to why it's that way...thanks for the clarification. I know someone would have the answer...

The white Berger COPO is a neat story. The original owner has that car today! He bought it back in the day and had fun with it. He eventually sold the car and regretted it big time. He found the car later and bought it back.
