For that, you could buy a GT4... That's just dumb.

Am I mistaken or does this car have euro rear lenses and N.A. front lenses?

I have yet to see a single GT4 for under $100K. Regardless, a GT4 is no vintage Porsche. It's a track day monster.

I guess anyone can call a car concours quality. Here are some of the few inaccuracies in this restore:

Front hood release sheath was painted body color with the car
Front strut top hardware painted body color with the car
Charcoal filter is missing in front trunk at fuel tank
Rubber mounting buffer is missing for right eyebrow
Wrong style screws holding down the front lower trunk latch (should be hex cap)
No securing clip to hold the front trunk pull cable sheath to the front lower latch
Front sway bar not connected to A arms (I believe all 6's came with front sway bars)
Charcoal breather lines in engine compartment are missing
Wire harness tie down plastic covers, right side against the firewall painted body color
Wire harness in engine compartment, left side against the firewall is painted body color
Rubber buffers for engine cover/lid are not correct (6 sided, not round)
Positive battery cable end is not correct
Negative battery cable is installed upside down
No engine compartment relay board cover
Late 914 filter screen in interior breather tube/hole in left door jamb (but not in right side, which is correct)
Interior light looks to have a black switch, which is not correct
Center cushion is aftermarket Colgan
Late style hand brake lever
Front side marker seals are aftermarket and not even close to the correct profile
Bumpers have not been re-chromed
Rear bumper has a slight dent in it to the right of the license plate
Front and rear deck lids do not fit all that well (may be due to new seals)
Mounting nuts missing on the C in P O R S C H E on the rear engine lid
No plastic/nylon trim caps in rear trunk floor
Incorrect mounting nuts on the 914-6 tail panel emblem
Incomplete tool kit with incorrect tools

The question I would ask, what else is incorrect that you don't see?

i***m seems to want that car. Chasing the bid. Then you get left hanging. I don't know if it's just the angle but the front hood looks odd in the spring area.

Looks very nice. I have never been a fan of resetting the odometer at restoration. I have now done a couple full restos where the end result is like the showroom way back then. Despite the big effort, the cars aren't new, and they wear how many miles travelled and years passed in all the nooks and crannies, from rivets to bushings. You can make them better than new, but the years cannot be erased, and that is as perhaps as it should be. My personal preference; I know it is a common practice.
Again, I would happily drive it around and polish it proudly. Glwts guys.
