Hyperbolic description as "preservation grade" is BS.
I'm no expert by any means and somewhat agree with the "hyperbolic description" comment.
Having said that and IF everything is original to the car as described ( paint, seats, carpets, engine, etc) but the fog lights and the right rear mirror this is still an outstanding example of a well preserved car. There are not so many 45 years old 911s that have not been modified, restored or simply resprayed.
Those cars were meant to be driven and I totally understand that the previous and only owner could have added non period correct fog lights and a rear side mirror at some point in the life of the car.
Just my 2 cents.

Re the right fender they mention that the right door has been repainted. That might explain why there is a color difference with the fender. Do you see anything else that tell you the right front fender has been repainted?
Well, it's a start.
