OK so now Ive seen an mint condition origional 59 with the golden comando that even had the origional stickers on the valve colvers even (wow, man!) . So here goes. The golden Comando 361-cid V8, 308 HP was painted red, w/ valve covers and air cleaners yellow (bright), the carberator was painted Gold. This was from a 59 sport fury. Now I had seen rebuilds where many people had painted the valve covers and the air cleaner covers gold.(but these were re- builds, not a mint condition engine. One point, this particular engine had a dealer installed dual-four barell setup. (from a 58) I seriously doubt that he went through the trouble to paint the valve covers to match the air cleaner covers (which by the way- still had the stickers on them too) just to do this. I hope that finallizes all the argumentation. This was the real thing in #1 perfecto condition. I wass salivating when I saw her. The forward look, forever.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
