Score from the junkyard

[mysavioreigns]

So I went to the junkyard Saturday, initially looking for some seats, when I saw a Falcon. I took a peek inside and there it was, a 200. I talked to the junkyard guy and he said I couldn't have the engine cause it was going to scrap but I asked him about the valve cover and he said $10. So I got it. The reason is, it caught my eye - it says "Powered by Ford" in a cool little script writing thing. I know it didn't come on the mustang, but could someone give me a quick pointer as to when/what these came on? I figure I'll clean it up, repaint it, and put it on mine.

I am also very curious about this too because when I bought my 67 mustang it had that same valve cover. I will also be repainting mine, although I would love to get it chromed which there is a place right down the road that does it but I dont know how much.

Mine came off a 200 in a '68 Mustang,and it was original in that car.They do look nice,don't they?

I might have mine confused with what you guys are talking about mine says "powered by" then it has the ford oval and it is in a box

I've got two later model 200's sitting in my garage (one big bell, one small) and they both have the "Powered by Ford" in a little rectangle like Abandoned67 described.

Oh yea, mine is different than that.

I'll try to get a picture tonight, and hopefully I can get it all cleaned up, but it says "Powered by Ford" and I think the 'leg' of the 'F' comes down and underlines 'Powered by'.

I don't know. That's kinda confusing. I'll get a pic.

I want one of those really bad if anyone has one for sale or sees one somewhere for cheap grab it and ill buy it from you.

 

[mysavioreigns]

That one is a little expensive

 

[mysavioreigns]

Oh yea, I know. I got mine for $10. I really like the chroming idea though

Next time you go if you find another one definitly pick it up, I think that putting a JET HOT ceramic coating on it would be cool too. If I can get one that is problably what I will do.
