My un-restored 69 L-89 had bare Aluminum heads, and by the pictures of the red car at Barrett-Jackson 2014, the heads are definitely orange so being a Duntov awarded car we can assume that that is the way the NCRS judges it in 1967 L-88 cars.
I do believe that in 1967 the L-89 cars were the only big blocks that came from the factory with chrome valve covers. I think in 1968 & 1969 all Big Block Corvettes had chrome valve covers.
