Aluminum heads with C. Shelby's name on them

My office is right near Cypress auto wrecking in oakland. I went in there the other day to get something for my daughters Honda and my buddy that works in there told me they had some interesting cylinder heads with C. Shelby's signature on them. I can't remember what they took them off of. They are aluminum, for a big block FE, appear to have 2.08 intake valves. One is in good condition, one has had one of the stud/rail mounts stripped. There are no valves/springs in them. I don't know if these are worth anything or not, but I thought I might post about it just in case. The C SHelb signature is embossed into the front of each head at the accessory bolt hole area. No other manufacturer info labeled on them.

Shelby and AFR have teamed up quite some time ago to create a line of "Shelby performance" engine parts. What you have is a late model set of heads from that consortium.
