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!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Really!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

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! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

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.

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

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! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Who said the mag page was 8.5x11 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Should print pretty well at poster size.

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.
