the engine may actually BE original, as is the tranny.
that looks like a small black chevy, which i highly doubt to be original in a 1970 Buick. a Buick 350 will have the distributor at the front of the block.

1970 doesn't code the engine in the VIN, so the only way to verify this would be to find the Engine Identification code and match the last 6 digits with the last six of the VIN.
If so, would we be better off with a true restoration or a GSX tribute?
probably as a GSX. Buicks don't get a whole lot of attention from the collector car crowd unless they are GS, GSX or Stage variations.
