I dunno...
I'd be tempted to make it a vintage Day 2 racer...

Looks like a simple math equation to me. I'm seeing mid to upper 20's in value as is and assuming it's a real 435 car and you can prove it, upper 5 digits restored with the wrong motor (depending on the quality), well into the 6 digits with pedigree, correct restoration and right motor. You may not be able to send it to a high end shop with a blank check for the difference between the two, but looks like correct body and paint you'd have a lot more valuable piece. One thing in your favor is that there's some really good repro fiberglass available now that wasn't around just a few years ago. Like others said, best to evaluate what you have including proof of original configuration and condition of frame, cage etc (looking for rust).

Without the original engine and or paperwork, it would not be wise to restore it....

I completely disagree, this is potentially a 435 car. Norris has it right.

I decided to put the headlights back in it and leave the flares alone. Since it says green on the tank sticker I'm going to paint it back goodwood green.

That sounds like a good plan, good luck.
