Different valve covers

[Roscomacaw]

I've got one of these late style, four-hole valve covers that I picked up at SASCO years ago. These on this car are obviously something put on later. Has anyone ever seen these in use on another Stude???

That back seat looks like it may be from a speedster? Yellow with the diamond pattern pleats. The deck lid appears to be from the same speedster perhaps....

In fact, the pictures in the ad are the same pix I sent him when he was interested in buying the car. This really is a solid car. The car looks far worse in the pictures than it does in real life. I wish I could have spent more time on the car before I sold it. The engine turns freely with a battery hotwired to it. I never did go the extra mile and try to start it. The back seat and trunk is indeed from a Speedster. I never had the Speedster, but several of its parts came with the green car. I still have a front fender and a few more pieces of the interior. I'm sorry that he's not able to build the car. He seemed so excited about getting it. He is a really cool guy. His wife drives a hot 350 powered Nova.
