Default Look what I found at my local Goodwill....

I was browsing around and happened to stumble upon a pile of frames and to my surprise found this one buried underneath, from what I gathered this print is pretty rare. Can't even find it anywhere on the web. I remember back in the 80's this shot was used in the maxell ad and with a guy sitting on a chair getting blown away.

Too bad when I checked the back, it was glued on. I can't reproduce it and of course I'm sure there are copyright issues.

I guess this is the best $20 I've spent in a while and it's going to charity as well, everybody wins.

That is really cool! I just dropped off some items at Goodwill about an hour ago, believe me, that poster wouldn't have been mixed into the pile. Good find!

Hey iceman bitter sweet consolation after my car sat in the shop for over a month due to their screw up. I posted it before, a minor run in with a piece of rubber on the freeway turned out to be a $9K job mostly suspension work w/c I believe they caused when taking it apart, at least my insurance covered it. I'm just happy I have her back.

I believe it's an SC.

A quick Google search lead me to a 914 forum where this poster was offered for sale by someone three years ago...

Hey That's right I remember that now .. that came out to 9K ? wow I hope your rates don't spike after that .. glad to see you have her back ..

i think the only way from that angle ( if you can't see the script ) is to check the front, the Carreras have the flush headlight squirters ( if they have them ) and the SC squirters sit up about 3 inches ... I can't quite tell from the angle ..
great score though .. i am sure it dulls the pain a little ...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the premium going north but the adjuster had a feeling that the shop messed it up.
