You can have mine FREE, if you can find it. I lost mine at a race track between NJ and Va. :auto:
Good luck with the hunt.

You can get one from MidAmerica if you want to pay $47.99. The p/n is 600-566. I was gonna do the same but couldn't justify $50 for an emblem.

Keep an eye on eBay. Also, it's the same part for 86-90.

No, it's been a couple of weeks since I called. But that makes sense that they are discontinued now, probably because the price is so high nobody is buying them, maybe if they lowered the price a little more people would buy them ;)

Yea, because of the price I repainted mine and gluded it back on. Total cost two high temp. paint cans one res and one black:). Had to tape the square thingy :crazy: . You could say Bubba fix my car, its not perfect but the valve cover are a lot better looking than before the rebuilt. :skep:

I don't like this guy. His junkyard is about 3 miles from my house, he stoped letting us walk back to the yard now. You have to wait in the shop for them to go out and get the thing you need. anything from the engine is not for sale, you have to buy the whole engine. He won't sell vacunm hoses, cold start injector... So I guess the valve is out of the question.

Broke my hood support rod the other day, went over there thinking it would be not that expensive. He wants $40 for the support rod that missing the orange tap. When I told him that I need the bottom braket with it, he want $60 total :crazy:. I end up paying $40 for it :mad I found out latter that Mid America sell that thing brand new for $60. I need to have the rod right away so I have the hood up to fix the car. The rod I bought is not as good as the condition of my 1988 rod before it broken. I guess he knows he got us by the ... :mad

I have two. :D

I'm planning on fabricating an oil cap out of one or both, so I can maybe use passenger side valve covers on both sides without it looking ugly. Next I gotta figure out how to get these different breathers to attach.

There are 3 or 4 different emblems.

'84-'85
'86-'90
'91
'92-'96

I've been looking for a '91 emblem forever....I've got a call into Corvette Corner to see if there are any left.
