Missing correct rocker panel decos, S aluminum interior panel mouldings, and proper headlights, just to name a few things.
$130k? If someone is going to go this far with a restoration, why not do it right?
Yee Haw! Sugar Scoop headlights and full polished Fuchs on a '67S...oh the humanity!
Love how the banner for their dealership "Motorcar Investments" features an early Ferrari Mondial coupe...probably one of the worst "investments" one could make.

Give me a week with the car and all will be right.... I think what strikes me so hard about the presentation is not the car, it's the words.
And I quote:
Every detail of this restoration was done to the highest standard. We cannot stress enough the correctness and the quality of the complete restoration. The Bahama Yellow paint is absolutely flawless. The interior quality is impeccable and correct down to the lastdetail.....
At this price it should be "more correct", as you'll spend a little bit more to correct the details. Course these cars aren't exactly falling off of trees, but it's spendy enough as of this date in terms of pricing that it shouldn't have any needs.
Besides the items previously noted:
Front and rear rubber deco isn't correct
Should be black undercoated, not painted
Rear spring plates should be black
Engine compartment should be black
Trunk should be black
Trunk carpet shouldn't be "bound" on the outside edges, and it's the wrong material to begin with.
Dash knobs shouldn't have the later rubber covers
Should have silver wiper arms and blades
Should have black paint under rear engine grill (imho, as I've had two 67s with OEM paint in that area that were bahama yellow).
Paint looks a little orange in some light, but could be the pics.
Engine lid supports should be black
Incorrect and not enough decals on rear slam panel
Sunvisors are all black, should be split black/offwhite
Incorrect antenna.
Hood badge looks to have the red bars, not orange.
Should have silver lug nuts not black
Rear view mirror should have black plastic on back of it, not chrome (serial number shows to be a later car and should have this type of mirror).
A lot of engine stuff can't be seen, but it also has a blue coil, not black, needs the orange rear window heat foam tubes
The distributor cap should be dark brown
It has front bumper end caps, and there shouldn't be any at all.
The front quarter windows should have chrome latch handles not plastic covered
The turn and tail light assemblies have the bad repro plastic inserts. For this money they should be good originals or NOS.
And that's with my crappy monitor....

The COA does not show an "S" after the number.
Dale Thero S Registry # 200
xlnt detailed observations, question on additional item. did all swb 911S's have leather surrounds at the base of rear seat cushions?
Actually, the sugar scoop headlights might be correct. We are finishing putting back together a '67 S that was a June 1967 production date. We have pictures of the car all the way to near new showing sugar scoops. When we tried to put on the earlier '67 headlights, they wouldn't fit. The fenders are '68 fenders, but they are correctly VIN stamped for the car.
