Looking for old Porsche ad

I don't think the car in the ad was a 914......but it was certainly a porsche (maybe a 911). Anway, it was a photo of a youngish man with an older man in an old barn. There is a car with an old, dusty, dirty cover on it. The cover is pulled partway back to reveal the beautiful Porsche.

The copy on the ad read something like: "The dream goes something like this..........you run out of gas on a country road and ask an old farmer if he could lend you a gallon.......you notice an old car under a cover and ask him about it........he says its an old Porsche that his son left there years and years ago.........you ask if he'd consider selling it........and the man responds "why sure, would $500 be too much?"...........and then you wake up!!"

Anybody seen this? I remember it from about 25 years ago and would love to see it again.....even better if I can find a copy of it.

I don't have anything positive to say.

Why do you think he sold it for only $500?
