the color ad that says " The Sun Porsche"

Posted by: N_Jay Jul 18 2017, 09:13 AM

I have what I think is the full set.
I will check to see if I have that one.

I am not interested in selling, but can make a high quality scan if you like.

EDIT:
I have it but it is one of two in the set that are copies not original.

There are several sellers on evil-bay who sell this & the others - usually in the $6-15 each range. They're basically "clippers" who get old magazines, clip the collectable ads of all types, then list them on eBay.

Just set up a search for 914 collectables or everything & anything 914, & they'll come up, then go to any seller with any ad, & then check at their "store" & other listings for what they have.

BTW - Have you ever wondered - with them both in the car holding the roof up - how the hell they get it into the trunk!!??


Really!?

A Madison Avenue "Oooops!" - even back in the day when it ran, there were comments in the press about that.

PS - One of the comments said it should read: "The Dumb Porsche" for the occupants!

GLWTB!

Jeff Bowlsby has most if not all on his website, plus, he probably has the real thing stashed away somewhere as well.

I love the exact "snaps off in 37 seconds". Would be fun to try and beat that time. Top off, stowed away, and trunk closed < 37 seconds.

Snaps off as a couple and hold above your head in 37 seconds!

If you want a hi res scan I can pull it off my storage drive, just ask.

2 people with the trunk already open, I can see 37 seconds.

Maybe they were putting the top on and not off?

Looks like that add is starting to be printed on Unobtainium.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Jul 18 2017, 03:33 PM

Found this one on this computer, off the website. Full size page @ 150dpi. I think I scanned everything back then at 600dpi but those files are on one of the storage drives.

Click to enlarge. Thanks Andy for hosting!

Just unlatch it at 40 mph and see how fast it goes away!!!

Posted by: yellow75 Jul 18 2017, 05:56 PM

Thanks. It prints a bit smaller than 8.5 x 11. I'll try to re-size it. But thank you..

Who said the mag page was 8.5x11

Should print pretty well at poster size.

Posted by: mgphoto Jul 18 2017, 06:43 PM

Great list, I'll compare what I have.

Posted by: banananose914 Jul 18 2017, 06:48 PM

What's the consensus on the year of the 914 in the ad?

Posted by: Calvinator2016 Jul 18 2017, 07:15 PM

Here is a photo representation as a single laminated poster that I received from the PO of my '73!

I could not tell.

I need to add a US/Eur column.

Posted by: 7TPorsh Jul 19 2017, 12:15 AM

I offer those posters on ebay and my website...or PM me...

Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Jul 19 2017, 10:10 AM

My records indicate the Sun Porsche ads are from Sep 1971. There were two different Sun ads. One mentions a Cadillac, the other does not.

I think I hit your list when I was searching for the ads.
My order is your order.
I don't have the duplicated ads, because I was only looking for US market ads.
The poster has 12 even though there were 15.

Hey, is that Sonny Bono in the driver seat ?

Posted by: Pursang Jul 20 2017, 12:24 AM

Here is another one. Sorry for the distorted angle but it is a framed ad from Road & Track that I have hanging in my garage:
