The 68 Fastbacks are currently experiencing a high demand. Actually, that goes for all the fastbacks. Your car being a real GT only adds to that demand.
Without pics and a detailed walk-around, it is difficult if not impossible to determine value, but in my opinion, 35k is a fair offer. Especially with the non stock motor.
As far as 400 hp at the wheels, it may be true, but power claims often get fudged so don't be surprised if it is not 400.
Finding a 390 would increase its value, but how much is debatable.
What do you want from this car? You mention it will be restored. If you are looking to make money on it, going original is never a bad choice. If you are looking to drive and enjoy it, keep it the way it is in terms of mechanicals, and get the body work done along with a paint job. Then you can enjoy the car for what it is instead of an investment.
My personal choice for my car was to upgrade it with modern components and drive it daily.
