I lucked out and found a pair incorrectly listed on Ebay last year. They are out there, this pair was pretty rough but I spent all winter sanding and polishing them to perfection. Last week, a family member called and said that he had just sent me a pair of really nice TBird covers in nice shape. Now all I need to find are the diagonally finned models. Keep the faith!

My name is Greg and I am addicted to Y's.

Hey Todd,  look at the picture in this post.

Darn tootin I would...probably 2 sets. As the originals usually change hands in the neighborhood of $250-300, I would expect brand new polished could realistically sell in the $300-350 range, which would put them close enough to the Offy, Fenton, and Moon covers to generate interest.

A funny side story, I found a guy up north with a "Y" powered '59 F100. He was asking $600 for his ratty truck, but he had a set of NICE Edelbrock covers on it. I offered him $300 plus a stock set of valve covers and he declined. Were I closer, I just would have bought the truck and flipped it after swapping the valve covers.

Todd,there's some on the Bay now. 320394291865.Steve.

Todd as mentioned before check EBay.  I seem a set every couple of months or so.  Sure you know but they don't go for cheap.

John,

The original owner was Everett Booth, he and my uncle raced boats. My uncle bought it from him in '57 and held onto it ever since. When I pulled it out of the barn last fall the most recent receipt was from 1987, and from all indications had been in storage since approximately that time. Probably should start a new thread, but below are some pictures as found:

Note the '57 non-porthole top. The original porthole top is on my uncles '57 to this day...I kind of prefer the non-porthole myself for looks, though I am 6'6" tall, so the top is ALWAYS off...

Hard to see, but the 94's are all matched, same set-up since '57:

Cool old W&H dual point dizzy:

And in its new home next to my Caddy-powered F-100.

Thanks guys...

Still looking for some valve covers...
