Default Is this ebay car stock?

Did 912s come without the trim moulding stripe around the bottom and the bumpers? Or has someone deleted these on this car?

Should have rocker and bumper trim strips and bumper guards should not be painted.

There are two: The Complete Porsche 912 Guide by Duane Spencer and Porsche 912 Handbook, Lake Press, commonly called the "orange book". It is the next best thing to the factory shop manual.
Also, while I don't want to knock the Rennlist 912 Board, there is a lot more action here: http://www.912registry.org/

Many 1968 912's had front/rear fender reflectors that many people removed and filled in the holes. The front horn grills should be chromed. The rims are period correct. Overall a decent 912.

Go to the 912registry.org. They did a complete review of this car.

Philip912 pointed something out to me today that is not correct for a 68 912 - the antenna is on the wrong side of the car. It should be on the left not the right. I would like to hear the story as to why its reversed.

Front and rear bumpers are supposed to have deco/trim molding as well. Clearly the holes have been filled before paint. Which makes me wonder what else has been 'filled' or covered up. Car looks good over all. door handles, mirrors, gauges are period correct. Horn grills should be chrome as should the rear bumperettes. Somebody mentioned the antenna, it should be on the left. Otherwise the headliner and door panels look tired. The big question is the engine and trans.
