| RE:Very rare |

| I believe these valve covers to be very rare. I have early '66, late '65, Ford published sales brochures that show these badges attached to the Cyclone GT's valve covers. The Fairlane conterpart had no such badges/emblems. I bought a '66 Cyclone GT a number of years ago from the proverbial little old lady, who had no idea what that guage mounted on top of the dash was telling her. The car seemed totally unviolated in all respects (not that modifying Detroit muscle was anykind of violation to me). This car did not have the valve cover decoration you have. I've popped the hood on as many 390GT powered car or any HP Ford/Merc as I can and I think I saw one '66 Cyclone GT with those valve cover badges. So my opinion is that they were an early feature for the Cyclone GT 390 cars. I can only speculate what happened to cause their elimination. To offer more opinion, I think those valve covers are worth a lot to a guy restoring an early production '66 Cyc.GT. They're like that way too rare 1960 HP air cleaner I've been looking for. So don't gough 'em, be reasonably fair like I hope someone who has that air cleaner will be to me someday. |
