Re: Show your rare chevy parts..
I just read that, and would have to agree. But then, checking just now, on corvette forum, a cheetah has been using those 59 heads, and a 57 vette race car has them. The cheetah guy said they are fine. So the comment in that text about 'they will crack' is not exactly 100% true.
For what its worth, I got my heads with my 60 corvette fuelie big brake. I have NO NO NO claims they belong to my car, and consider them a novelty. My car's production was not early to be valid (more like early mid year). The car was raced as part of a chevy dealer in detroit for 2 yrs, and then it went to the main holley guy inside the chevy plant, who continued to race it. Those heads came out of the detroit local area, that's about all I believe. I don't think all of these heads for indy cars would have had old orange paint on them. That paint was on there, before they were made purposely inoperable. Hard to explain. Either owner #1, got them from his dealership on another car's recall, or the second owner got them out of the tech center, where he had access to almost everything (he was close to Vince P). For me, its the mystery of the paint on them, that makes these a great conversation piece on a part that is not worth anything really.

Re: Show your rare chevy parts..
I met a guy at Spring Carlisle and he is telling me a story about 4 hoods he bought, at first I am thinking this is just another story you hear about but then he mention's where and how he acquired the hoods. I was able to buy this original GM X-Ram hood last weekend.
