The car looks to be a good deal. He's a little confused about what engine is in it, though. For possible front end damage, look for overall fitment of the front fenders, inner fenderwells, and hood. Also, look underneath the front fenders just behind the wheel where the fender mounts to the body. That's a good spot for a shop to accidentally use as a jacking location. The only thing it "jacks up" is the fender when they crush the mounts. That car looks fine in the pics, so I doubt the fenders are damaged in any way.
Also, check for any water damage from leaking t-tops and any blistering under the paint on the "halo" panel which is your b-pillar. I can't remember if the faulty glue issue showed up in '98 or later on.

The ad says "1998 z28 camaro LS2 aluminum heads".
It depends on how you read it. Was he saying it's an LS2 engine with aluminum heads, or just that it has LS2 aluminum heads?
I'll ask the guy next time I talk to him. Uhhhh, I mean no I won't, yeah that's it!

It is no LS2 like he says... ;-)
I'm nearby too -- make sure there isn't any loud whirring noise from the rear -- if so, you're gonna need some new bearings...

It has an LS1 with aluminum heads and block. Go over as much research as you can, it will need to be in very good condition for a 12 yr old for $ 6,700. not many miles so be careful ! Get a stethoscope and listen to it running. Check intake & valve cover or any nut or bolt that may have been removed. Seen a few guys here get screwed with bad engines, blown head gaskets from overheating. It looks good but be cautious.
Good Luck !
