Sounds like a pretty good set-up for a street car. The big questions are going to be about cyclinder heads and valve train (camshaft specs), and compression ratio, as a 350 is a 350 is a 350. Most of the power comes from those things. They will also help in determining the "drivability" of the car, as far as everyday use is concerned. Looking at the headers (1 5/8) primary tubes and the fact that it has an electric choke carb. I would guess on 1.94 intake valves and probrobly no bigger than a 280 duration .480 lift cam, as anything bigger would require larger headers and a more performance oriented carb. Check on those things, as compression will determine if you can run it on pump gas without retarding the timing to far. Where do you live, as I doubt this car would pass an emissions test, if that is a concern in your area.

Nice looking car. Somebody really did some retrofitting with the front accessories. Looks like they used the serpentine belt but with some old school mounts. How much is he asking?
