^^^agreed. I sold a very nice all original 1966 911 with a rebuilt '67 engine for well north of six figures back in 2014. '66 and '67 base 911 engines are pretty much the same. Matching numbers matter, but if the rest of the car is stunning it is less of a factor.
Your car has a few issues though that do drop the value. For one, someone updated it to the blackout 1973 model year look, including the safety bumperettes! I would replace the bumper, side trim, horn grille, and bumper guards with the correct chrome. Try to strip off the black paint on the expensive window chrome...lots of folks just rattle canned over the chrome back in the day (did it to my 1977 924!) and stripping it often reveals decent chrome underneath. Also need to trade out those Fuchs for the 1966 chrome steelies they all came with.
As it sits now if rust free I would think it would trade around $50k, and I don't see why it wouldn't fetch north of $100k with a full restoration back to original spec. Mind you, it may cost more than another $50,000 to restore it fully!
