a 350 pontiac or 350 chevy? Im not a purist so Im not judging, but right off the bat either way its not original. It would have been a 326/400 or Straight 6 originally. 350 pontiacs weren't a thing in 67.
If the restoration is 20 years old its likely not FI, as that was much less common then than now. If its not being portrayed as some crazy rare collector item and is just a reasonably priced classic driver I wouldn't be overly critical.
Look at the floor pans, rockers, quarters, and around the rear window channel for obvious rust. Look for bubbling or cracking body filler.
If you are happy with the look, and it doesn't seem to be a rust bucket then buy it. All the other stuff is the fun stuff. Even if you find you don't like the engine build a better one. Dont like the wheels buy new ones. Just don't get yourself trapped in paint and body hell. Live with small imperfections if it has them
