C3AE timing cover… early version with pointer

[bluef100fe]

What are these worth? Came off a core engine I had… local builder needs one and I have a couple so I thought I’d help the guy out… whats fair price for one? Dirty, needs new seal etc, but all holes are good and the pointer is there and has a couple degree marks on it. TIA

Anywhere from $50-100+ depending on the date. With the pointer should be in the higher of that range.

We had a bunch of the ‘63-67 covers at the estate sale for our friend Kurt a few years ago priced at $25, and I’m pretty sure they all sold easily. That was without the pointers, we sold those separately. In a few cases the pointers are worth more than the covers themselves, like the original 427 pointers, or the 428 PI/Shelby ones. They have a date code, normally I’d advise cleaning and noting the date code, the covers are worth more obviously to someone looking for a particular date, that’s probably not a concern for your buyer.

Looks like this one is November of 62, not sure if that makes it desirable or not. Local guy only wants to give $20 for it when I asked for $40… told him you can buy a repopped one new for $85 plus shipping… and it won’t be the correct one… he approached me and I don’t have to sell it, I’m a half price of new kinda guy and I probably should just keep it with the car it came from which was my 63 galaxie 500 4 door soon to be 427 with 428 crank powered… should wake it up from the very worn out 352 2 barrel that was in it… anybody need a original torque converter and cruisomatic trans from one of these cars? Trans worked… I drove the car twice a few miles, needs a converter pump seal, leaked oil steady so I didn’t drive it much for the fear of hurting trans… I have a C6 for the car so this trans/starter/converter is taking up space in my garage if somebody wants them… give me an interesting offer and the parts can go… thanks
