Too bad someone changed out the original racing handlebars for what's on there now. The racing bar ( No.20 ) is supposed to be a 7" drop which is what came on the bike originally. Nice example though of an original paint bike.
 
I can't stop going back to look at this bicycle, what killer original paint. I would loving owning something of the sort. If anyone has a bicycle similar please let me know.

On the bike from Ebay, nothing really scream "RACER" to me other than the decal.
like you said Bill, the bars are wrong, and the rear triangle is too spread out, the seat stays and seat stay bridge are so massive for a Racer
The rear tire is too far from the seat tube compared to the original picture you posted.
Don't get me wrong ..... still a beautiful bike, but it doesn't have the "RACER" feel
