Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum, so I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. If so, please let me know the correct section to post.
I was interested in bidding on a particular 1969 Firebird, but i'm unsure of worth, or if there are any glaring issues i'm missing that I should avoid. I've looked at several other cars over the past few weeks, and have had a couple moments where a particular car was something to avoid.
Photos are attached as well:

Is said to have been refurbished approximately 30 years ago. Work included a repaint in the original Verdoro Green, replacement of the quarter panels, and installation of a 400ci V8, so it didn't come with one originally. Features include a three-speed automatic transmission, a black vinyl roof, a green vinyl interior, and 14″ Rally II-style wheels.
The car was refinished in the original Verdoro Green during the early 1990s and body work is said to have included replacement of the quarter panels. Features include a black vinyl roof, bright trim, 400 badges, and Guide T3 headlights.
Rally II–style 14″ wheels are wrapped in Firestone Wide Oval Super Sport redline tires. The car is equipped with four-wheel drum brakes. The cabin is upholstered in Midnight Green vinyl along with matching carpets and woodgrain trim on the center console. Equipment includes an AM radio, a locking glove box, and lap belts.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a fuel-level gauge, and engine warning lights. A 5k-rpm redline tachometer is mounted on the hood. The five-digit odometer shows 65k miles.
The 400ci V8 was reportedly installed in the early 1990s and was factory-rated at 330 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.

Please let me know if there is any other important missing information. I very interested in this car, but would like to get an idea of its value. If you find the sale post from this, please don't snipe it. Thanks!
