You will have to modify them and paint them, but here is the basic shape.

Yup, there was a company online that had them but not sure if they are still around. I made mine myself.
I do have a set w/o bumps or holes that can be fabbed up to look like these. For the right price I might be coaxed into selling them.

I tried to do a search & couldn't find any good pics of originals. Most seem to have something "Similar" in nature to what have in the picture CCX posted. I seem to remember seeing the Double Stack on those cars though. Could be mistaken...

I tried to post the link 4 different ways & it wont work at this site for some reason. Do a Google search "Shelby Parts & Restoration" They have two different types of the Valve covers there

I've tried posting links to their site lots of times but never been able to make it work. I just figured it was me, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one!

Here is a pic of the only unrestored coupe. I took this one last summer at the Simeon museum. They are definitely different than the roadster:



I guess these were added later.

What's up with the intake manifold for the webers on the engine in that pic? Was that type available then?

I have quite a few 289 parts at this point with more in the works. I have some pics of the valve covers in process. I'm making them up now. You're not gonna make me put up unfinished pics are you?

I see 2287 uses plain valve covers. I don't know the most common configuration on the Coupes. I have seen double stacks, single stacks and singles with the puke tank hook up. Like these
