Richard, the missing wheel well mouldings that are part of the 3k option, were most likely removed in preparation for drag racing. I’ve seen multiple drag cars where they removed them to avoid tire rub. Sometimes just the rear sometimes all 4.

Here is a pic of an original paint nose stripe on an L78. Looks nearly identical to yours. When I first saw yours I thought it was repainted because of the bigger spacing on the bottom of the stripe, but you can see that this one is the same. Very cool car.
