I think your trying to get too specific with the M471 and GT. A 914-6(any 914 from Porsche with a chassis #914........)+ M471(steel flares, front oil cooler, alloy fixed roof, fiberglass bumpers and hoods)=GT car. The motors veried depending on the class and rules. So thats harder to specifie.
Now the specifics as to who made the car into a GT is more relivent. Wether it was a factory produced car with race heritage (Big $$$$), or a privateer produced car with race heritage (still lots-o-$$$$), or a 914-6 later converted is what you need figure out. They are all GT cars....
The part most people don't get is we're not talking about a 911RS. Sure there are plenty of parts out there and replicas of the RS, it wasn't Porsches goal. They made RS to make homologization rules. The 9146GT was also made to make homologization rules, but they didn't produce all the cars that way. Being that Porsche was looking to bend the rules and save money, they produce only a few chassis and let the "kits" go out on the market and produce the rest.
