More like a lifetime commitment for me, my Son and my Grandson. There is no valve cover tag, in fact there isn't even a hole-very strange. I have the original valve covers from my totaled TA Javelin and an extra 390 emblem that will be installed on this car.

Ron, check at the back of the left cover. I have seen several examples where they swapped the covers around and that is where the tag wound up.

I agree with you on the white/red color combination. This combo was one of the reasons I bought my 70 Javelin Donohue. White with red interior and red C stripe.

  Ron,  Great looking car. This is one of my favorite color set ups, white/ red. The steering wheel looks like it belongs,  Rick

Sweet AMX! Really digging on the white! If it wasn't for the green interior in my 70 Javelin, I wouldn't mind going with the white ;) Enjoy, have fun!

Well Ken you were correct. I'll switch them out tomorrow-had to work today. The deer hits and accidents keep on comin in. This will be two years in a row with record bodyshop sales since the recession of 2008. 
 
I did get a chance to get the new front spoiler installed Wed night and yesterday morning. Thanks guys for allthe kudos. The smile still hasn't left my face Smile yet. Took a couple pics yesterday.
 
 
 
I'm surprised that NO ONE caught the extra turn lamps (from out totaled TA Javelin) in the 1973 AMX pic. I just may put a set in the new car just for the heck of it.
 
John (664spdMarlin) finally put a new pair of shoes on his 77 360/4spd Pacer. Man what a difference Clap
