I'm looking for someone who can make use of a few things laying around my garage. I'm aware that most of this stuff has very low (or no) demand but I thought I would see if anyone is interested.
Aluminum big block valve covers.They are black with the ridges on the top machined to expose the raw aluminum. There are no logos or other identification on the covers. They were on the first generation crate engine as delivered from GM. The previous owner exchanged them for some chrome covers.
Chrome 5 ¾ inch headlight “eyelids.” That may not be the correct name --- they are half moons that cover the top half of the headlights. I took them off the car but they could be reattached with some new double-sided tape.
New “cardboard” glove box for a '66 or '67 Chevelle without air conditioning.
Chrome Moroso 14 inch air cleaner cover. (“MOROSO” is stamped on the cover.)
'66 Chevelle passenger-side trim piece that goes from above the headlight and curves down to the bumper. (There are two of these and are in pretty good shape.)
Rubber brake or clutch pedal cover. It has a trapezoidal shape and is 2 ¼ inch tall and 3 ¼ inch wide at the bottom and 2 ¾ inch wide at the top.
Two GM (AC Delco) speedometer drive gears for a TH 400 transmission. The part numbers are 8679984 and 8623311.
An alternator spacer (Mr Gasket part 9853.)
One pair of chrome skulls with red eyes. I removed them from the license plate on my car. The studs are too short to be used to attach the license plate to the bumper. They would have to be used in the other pair of holes in the plate or used for some other purpose.
Everything's free. Post here if you are interested so others will know if something has been claimed. I could post pictures if needed.
I posted an ad on Craigslist for a pair of fiberglass bumpers for a '66 Chevelle. Search "fiberglass bumper" if you're interested. I didn't ask here first because I've not heard of anyone who was looking for glass bumpers. I've seen one avatar here with a '66 drag car but he said that he's already got glass bumpers.

I'd like the stuff in red. If you're going to Car Craft I'd like to get it then, otherwise we can figure something out. Thanks!

I would be interested in these items.

I'll take the glovebox guts and the skull bolts...! I'll be at CC later on Saturday and a lot on Sunday.

Thanks for offering this stuff up! Very cool of you to do.

OOPS --- maybe I didn't think this through well enough before posting. So that I'm not playing favorites, is it best to do this on a first-come-first-served basis or is there a another better way? I don't think a rookie club member like myself should be making this decision. ADVICE PLEASE !!

I won't be at CC but could drop them off with someone on the south side who is going to be there. Maybe I could deliver them to our club president who will be showing his superbly restored Chevelle. Of course, I'll need to know who will be at CC. Another possibility is the show at Friendly Chev in August. I'll probably be there Saturday evening to help move cars (assuming that will be done the same way this year) and at the show on Sunday.

Everything except the air cleaner cover fits in one grocery bag. Stan said that he could tie it on the trunk lid of his car so the stuff will be at CC on SATURDAY.

I'll edit the original post to remove the things that have been taken. It won't leave much so this thread may die HERE.

if you can talk him into that, I think we're all fine with him bringing them to CC.

Ron, got your email. I'll give you a call.

I don't mind taking stuff as long as it's not too big.

Regarding if more than one person wants something, it's first come first serve on the Classifieds section, so whoever responded first gets first right of refusal.

Chris R · 2K+ Club

You dont have to grab the stuff I was interested in right now. Unless they are in your way, im cool with getting them at a later date, automania or a future meeting, whatever is fine with me.

Mission accomplished other than I have the items for Scott. I didn't see him yesterday, but bagged out about 3 o'clock when it looked like rain was rolling in.

Scott, I'm sure I'll see you sometime this summer, so I'll get it to you then, unless you need it sooner.

I accidentally claimed the valve covers that Bryan had previously claimed. I didnt have any need for them other then garage dicoration. Next time I run into you Bryan, ill pass them back to you. They would look better in your garage anyways. I dont know how I missed that.

Thanks Stan- I thought I'd see you on Sunday. We'll coordinate one way or another!
