Clear 409 valve covers?

[bobs409]

I search the want it now ads on ebay everyday and just spotted this ad:

I am looking for 409 Clear See Thru valve covers, they made them, but I have never see a set yet. I will trade a pair of NOS Pontiac clear balve covers for the 409 ones.

Did they really make these? If so, this is the first I've heard of them.

P.S. Not sure who this is, may be someone from this site?

I've never seen them either, Bob. I wouldn't mine having a set, though. If they weren't four or five hundred bucks.

I wonder how they hold up.

I've heard of clear distributor caps but this is the first for valve covers. What's next, oil pans?

The visible 409 V8??

Now, I did find a vintage "visible V8" last year on eBay (not the newer version), but, wouldn;t it b enice to see someone do a 'visible 409'???

looks kinda cool till you start the engine and they get covered with oil
