Early 260 / 289 competition valve covers had two breather tubes per valve cover and were painted (black) or clear cadmium plated. Later FIA valve covers had the single tube breathers and were clear cadmium plated. If the history is accurate and the Cobra is as removed from the race track in 1965, CSX2345 has stock Hipo chrome stamped steel valve covers.

As brought to my attention and a fact that I had forgotten was that CSX2155 had stock stamped steel valve covers that were painted gold by the Ford factory.
