Cool!  Just bought one.  I like the fact that, "these posters came out of an old Sunoco Gas Station in Ceredo Kenova, W.V."  Thanks for the heads up.

The car pictured on that poster appears to be an orange/black version.... no wonder he'd won 3 straight..!  :)

Sorry to inform you that it is actually Sunoco Blue.   :)

However, the orange and black versions were used to transport seniors to the race!   ;D

You apparently have never had opportunity to view the '72 B' on the PNT line on the original car's trim plate??   :)

It was as if in a dream, I asked Mark.. 'Why did you change the color from the beautiful powerful orange and black to the blue / yellow color?"
he answered "Well, it's like this.  I loved the orange/black, even drove that color Z28 on the street myself, but Roger believed if we left it orange and black, we'd win all the races by such a large margin, the interest in the series would decrease, along with the purses and sponsorships, so he wanted a slower color"; personally, I hated it .. I wanted to win them all!"

Roger was right, Mark would win every race if they left the car orange.  The others drivers would see it, assume it was an emergency vehicle, pull over and stop!  No challenge in that.

LOL!   ;D

Looks like the seller has more of these posters available if anybody missed out the first time around.

Hello All. I am the one that has the Sunoco Posters Listed. As Bullitt65 said. I got these from a woman that runs an Antique Shop. I had originally got 33 of them and they went quick. (I kept Four) She had said that she had given a roll of them to a friend that was going to list them on eBay etc. but never did. So I finally was able to get a hold of these. There are about 45 or so of them. They weren't cheap, but a lot of them are in Very Good Condition. I also have Two other Sunoco Posters too, and have a few each of them. They also are in Very Good Condtion - some nearly perfect. The Camaro Posters measure 28" x 48". and the Dry Gas and Anti-freeze Posters measure 28" x 44". Interested parties can contact me through this Forum or Call Text me to 606-Four, Six, Five-7136. Posters are $25.00 each and $8.00 Shipping in an Insured USPS Priority Shipping Tube Box. No additional shipping for more than One Poster. Anybody wishing to get one of each, I'll do $73.00 total with shipping. Bullitt65... I owe you for getting the word out... Would you like a couple more posters on me? Thanks !
 
I can't get my, links or codes to show up here for the pics... Any ideas?
