What year do you need? Do you insist on a new one? I will have one from my 86 real soon.

If you are talking about the black plastic piece. I cleaned an old one up and painted it semi gloss black and it looked like a new one.

If it's the black plastic piece, I got one not too long ago from Classic Parts for around $30 IIRC.

Re: Need help finding a cowl cover!!

If you have advice about a vendor for new piece as the OP asked, or how to repair his old one.....fine.
Don't let this turn into a "Want To Buy" post though.....it will be edited/locked/removed etc.

It is just as against the rules to make offers to un-subscribed members as it is for them to ask.
