Bill,
That VIN corresponds to a 68 S made for Europe/ROW. Your best bet is to go to Porsche and ask them how much it will cost you to restore it back to its original condition (not the US spec though). For a fee they will document all the work needed which is valuable to a potential buyer. They will also be able to tell you if your engine is original. You have a matching number engine but that does not tell you if all the admission/exhaust system is still an S. There have been a lot of S cars that were run by using later models' parts. If you can finance this you will be better off doing this yourself and selling it with all the history of the restoration from Porsche. That is likely to put a premium on the price. Pristine cars with original factory restorations go for much higher than the price quoted by others on this thread.
Good luck

Don't worry about the engine being matcing number or not! Because even if it doesn't match now, it will after a concours rebuild!
Strange how all pristine rebuilt early 911:s have matching number engines given how frequently 911:s had their engines swapped in the 70-80:s!
