Unfortunately, it is one of those things that if it was new, it would be a $1500 bike. But, it is 30 or 40 years old. Perhaps as good as new, but using old style brake calipers, old style generator, cranks, rack, rims, just about everything on it is obsolete.
Are those new pedals?
The brake levers also appear to be modernized, with mismatched cable housing.

Are those front brakes out of adjustment?

That bike is missing the skirt guards. It doesn't even have a full chainguard.

"Classic showroom condition bicycle. Works really well, I'm not kidding!

If the add is up, this is still for sale. No discounts!"
no discounts - so seller has already taken bent top tube into consideration for pricing?

Some of these BMX bikes are a bit surprising in value. But, I'm not sure about this one.
Odd drilled out seat tube.
That fork just doesn't look like it goes with the bike

The "premium condition" he mentions must include the numerous scratches and peeling paint. "Special order" must include the gum hoods delete option and the other various upgrades from stock.

Raleigh racing bike (rare) - $1200
4531 centralia rd
Very rare Raleigh racing bike in premium condition. Made in USA in 1983. This racing bike was a special order and is in immaculate condition. 23.5 inch and was recently tuned by Molly's bike shop in Chester va. A lot of chrome really makes this bike stand out. 555SS double butted frame is very unique.
Shimano derailer. Asking 1200.00 call show contact info
