Default Z06 Overkill Poster - A different version I found

Guys:

We all know this is the rare Z06 Overkill poster.





I was searching for something and found this though.
I have NEVER seen this before.
It looks like an authentic GM poster like the one above.
Anyone know where to get one ?
I would love to have this one to go with my original I have above.

Those are awesome posters. Wish I could find one of them.

Is there any information as to who made the poster? Maybe we can contact that company.

Those are cool ! ! !

Google searches are coming up blank...
The sites want you to pay $40 for a month plan to be able to download Hi Res version.

Maybe if we signed up we could download the high-res copies, and make our own posters ...

One is called G-FORCE.



One is called OVERKILL




The other is called SWEATED.

I took the risk and paid the $40. The high res version is not high res at all. It's like 926x609. Also it doesn't contain any extra details - it literally looks like they just enlarged those current ones. It was a waste of money but I figured it was worth a shot.

I'll do some more research tonight.

Thats BS ! I would contact them and request the high res version.
That's false advertising.

Ok, this might be overkill in itself but I emailed the advertising agency responsible for the posters. Maybe they can provide high res links for me :]

Try checking with the National Corvette Museum - they carry a lot of posters and might have the one you are looking for.

NCM discontinued the Overkill poster - probably because of the paper they used. It's heavier stock and textured, almost like a heavy parchment. I'd guess it's not easily created, especially in bulk.

There's a guy on ebay selling them nonstop. I paid $10 for mine. They are like a very heavy paper. You have to search for zo6 zee-oh-six not zee-zero-six
