Default Mercury Vintage Racing DVD

Has anyone seen this DVD?

http://www.screamandfly.com/home/pro...ercury_dvd.htm

The DVD supposedly covers the 1968 Bahama's 500 - seacraft boats placed 1st and 2nd in the twin outboard division.





The DVD, titled “Vintage Films, Volume 2, presented by the Mercury Film Archives” features almost two hours of transferred 16mm film footage with the original commentary from Lake X testing, races, marathon runs, and over twenty commercials – most presented in their original color. The collection is divided into seven chapters which contain the following:


“50,000 Miles by Outboard” – Mercury’s Mark 75 Lake X endurance marathon.|
“Seine Insanity” – Hundreds of outboard engine powerboats compete in Paris, France at the Seine River Marathon.
"World’s Fastest Outboard” – Carl Kiekhaefer receives the “Man of the Year” award after the Mercury Mark 75 sets a new outboard speed record in 1958.
“Racing Champions Afloat” – Inboard hydroplanes compete feverishly for the Silver Cup at Detroit’s Yacht Club.
“Winnebagoland Outboard Marathon” – 285 outboards competing in one race at Riverside Park in Neehah, Wisconsin.
“The Bahamas 500” – In 1968, offshore race champion Odell Lewis takes you on a tour of the boats, the engines, and the strategy that makes champions at the Bahamas 500 Offshore Race.
“Vintage Commercials” – Twenty vintage Mercury commercials from the 1950’s to the 1970’s.
