Being a black targa owner I have been after this poster for some time and have compiled some what of a history on them while hunting for them.

There seems to be a few ways that one can get this poster the story seems to go something like this.

The photographer (Steve Steigman) famous for taking the man in the chair photo also took this photo. The add appears in 2 forms, either a 2 page magazine spread (which I own, ill try and get a pic of it to put up) or as a poster both bearing the text "If you've got the watts, we've got the tape". The picture also seems to come in the form you have it, no text and a mate white background. From what I have found this seems to be a set of printings issues by the photographer not the printer who made the poster and was presumably working for Maxell. Note how the print has the photographers name on it in the bottom right corner.

As for price I will say this.

I had the chance to buy the poster recently for 100$ and should have. The price seem to vary greatly although its hard to say what they sell for as many are private or undocumented sales. As stated above people have bought them for less than $10 and they have gone up for as much as $1000. Condition in this case will matter but you seem to have a nice piece. You are correct that they are rare but the fact of the matter is that the only people that want them are primarily Targa owners at this point. Although Porsche art collectors such as my self (Although I own a targa as well) would be interested in this. In terms of price its hard to say, you could list it for $500 and watch it collect dust until someone with a lot of cash to burn comes along, or list it for $50 and watch it disappear. If you are planning to sell, please PM me I would be very interested in it.

Regards
Dave
