Yes, this one!
I've seen the poster in the past (and I'm still looking for it
).
I'm restoring my 69' Le mans Blue and I'm thinking about the idea to build a BFG car replica, so I need pics and info about this poster car!!!

I saw this video on you tube
I can see :
- Hooker chromed side pipes
- Fixed headlights
- 427 hood
- Racing alu gas cap (cobra style?)
- American Racing Torque Thrust D (105) 15" rims???
- BFG Radial T/A tires off course!
Any other?
What about the story of the car?

This is the car that inspired me to buy my Corvette. I was at SEMA in '94, saw the poster and thought, "That's what I want." At the time I was considering Porsche 911 or 928S4. I'm sure you'll all agree I made the right choice.

this is where you can order any of the posters or banners straight from BFG.
BFG monochromatic posters. To purchase a
poster you can call 1-800-677-3322, option 2. You may also email them with
your request at jsimpson@coresco.com.

Why would anyone paint that car a different color? 
It is a unique color, not stock lemans blue, special for that poster.. why change it?Are you sure? Video says it was originally red, then painted blue by BF Goodrich. Can't believe anyone would buy it and put it back to stock. ahh.. was repainted red but then the owner restored it to it's condition as a BFG promo car.
Also, looks like L-88 hood and something on the headlights... fixed headlights with clear racing headlight covers?
Racing gas tank filler cover on rear deck.. Hood pins at the front (windshield) end of the hood..
There is an NCRS info sheet on the dash, so looks to me like the car was on display and video was taken at an NCRS meet.

That's not what he said, he said, "It started out Monaco Orange and BF Goodrich decided to paint it blue" He then said it toured the US and ended up in Hawaii for 5 years then wound up in California and thats when he got the car. He never said it was red and he returned it to blue? I don't see how you heard him say "He" returned it to blue it sounds like it has been blue since BF Goodrich did the car?
