Yup. "hey, wow! Look at my auction!"

Personally, I would never pay $300 for a valve cover, especially one without provision for a PCV valve.

The Speco cover is equipped for a PCV valve. Its provisions are identical to a factory '60-'65 valve cover, complete with baffling. In that respect it's a more thoughtful design than the Offenhauser unit.

D'OH! You're right. I forgot about the older style metal PCV valve that fit into the cap that goes on the rear chimney.
