Without any pictures what feedback do you want?
What he describes sounds wonderful but if the frame is rusted it doesnt mean anything.

You need detailed pictures of the complete car, frame, front and rear suspension, engine compartment, kick panel areas, etc. not just showing a very nice paint job.
Is the seller willing to provide detailed pictures?

Default Value?

When I bought my all original 66, there was plenty of data on similar situations. However, seems these are kinda custom designed with not as much to compare. No apples to apples cars!!! Is there a place to evaluate prices?

Chances are the car was involved in a front end collision, tilt front end and aftermarket headlights are a lot less expensive than OEM replacement. The build sounds like fun to drive. T
