I know lots of 356s with S title. Nobody cares when the car itself is done right and is nice. The older they get the less it matters.

Well to me it matters not due to it's history, but rather the legal status of ownership. What happens if you buy this car, put $100K into restoring it, then someone comes along and claims legal ownership due to a theft back in '69?
Not worth the hassle, certainly something to be concerned about...
