I should've kept mine, I sold one 30 years ago for $75Anywhere from $400 - $2K. $2k being the dreamers waiting for a sucker on ebay.

1967 440 in R/T and GTX had chrome valve covers only. Air cleaner was never chrome from the factory. From a 1967 R/T owner.My 426W came with the Engine "Chrome Dress-Up" package, and it was valve covers AND air cleaner and metal PCV outer shield. Not saying the '67 did until I actually find proof, but an "Engine" will usually include all three pieces.
A popular thing to do, was to cut down the large silenced air cleaner base to the same size as the unsilenced base plate. This way, you could get more air to the filter, but more importantly, you could hear the "waaaaaah" of the carb secondaries when you nailed the gas pedal.Welll I just figured out I have the wrong base for it. Here you see the base laying inside the cover
Anyone have a base??View attachment 1706830
2016 at the Mopar Show near Minneapolis, I saw a original 67R/T auto. Original owner, purchased in California while he was stationed with the Navy. It had chrome valve covers. No other chrome .My 426W came with the Engine "Chrome Dress-Up" package, and it was valve covers AND air cleaner and metal PCV outer shield.

Dave from post 22 said the same, so I defer to both of the posts to agree. I know the 426S Wedge had one, just wasn't sure about this one.2016 at the Mopar Show near Minneapolis, I saw a original 67R/T auto.

I don't think the chrome would even need to be stripped off to refinish it. The chrome doesn't seem to be flaky so IMO it's just like glass beading chrome mirrors, priming and painting them like the factory did...What's it cost to strip the chrome off?
I don't believe that the 68 C Body was identical looking. The C Body lid has a different indentation on the top and would not fit the B Body HP pie tins. The tall one pictured fits the hp pie tin.
On those imperials, it was a pretty rare option to have the dual snorkel/ dual exhaust pkg. But they weren't an A134 pkg ( magnum code iirc)In this c bodies post you can see how similar they are. 13 indentations, dual oval snorkels, pie pans, etc. At a glance they look almost identical but they're taller and have a different base plate. I've found a couple of these on my hunt for a real 67 dual snorkel.

The cbodys had a large indent for the hood torsion bars. They're kind of an asshole to get on.I don't believe that the 68 C Body was identical looking. The C Body lid has a different indentation on the top and would not fit the B Body HP pie tins. The tall one pictured fits the hp pie tin.
You'll know a cbody aircleaner when you go to pull it off .

Thank you!
Here’s the one I’m using now. It’s the tall one from your pic in #7 post. Original pie tin to the car, but not the lid.

Have you registered it with FastbackJon? I think the 67 440 Chargers have the highest survival rate % wise. Have you modified it, looks pretty short from bumper to tire. Maybe it is just my eyes. Nice launch.
Is that HH1??
