The C5Z is such an amazing looking ride!

Default Overkill poster for $66.00

That was me, thanks to the guy who told me there was another on "that" site.

Also the corvettte museum told me that their system is screwed up and it shouldn't shown the overkill poster they do not have them.

Amazing..years ago I attended Justin Bell's class at Moroso.
They had these posters on a table...free for the taking.
At the last minute I grabbed one. A couple of years later my wife bought a 2002 Quicksilver Z06...how cool was that!
The poster resides in my office. I never thought they would be in such demand...might've picked up a few more

I have actually seen this poster sell upwards of a $100. I was pretty happy when I scored it for under $20.

It is a pretty cool poster though.

I set the high bid at $75.00 and it ended at $66.00 I have a silver Z so this will look great in my garage

Since you cannot get them anymore I have seen items like this go for much more. I think there was someone a while ago selling it for $200

Agree, nice poster.

There was a guy in VA who was selling two of them on CL. However they had pin holes in the corners from being hung and he wanted like $80 apiece for them or something like that. Too much $$ IMO.

Right, I'd love to be able to frame one and put it in my garage, but I'm not willing "yet" to spend a tank of gas on it.

Looking good!

Interesting to see so many people scrambling to buy this poster.


I wonder what my German Corvette C6 Z06 poster would go for. It is a massive 4 feet x 6.5 feet!! I knew I should have asked for two or three!! And it is not the cheap paper used in normal posters. The paper is more like card stock.

But for those who like to get creative....A downloadable photo and Photoshop can make some nice "posters" for the garage.....

Thanks !

Its actually of of those foam covers that you drape over the fenders when your working on the engine.... or anywhere your your leaning over the car. It protects the paint from scratches. Comes in handy when I'm doing something where I worry I might scratch the paint.

Mid America sells them (I'm sure others do too).
