Gap between bumper and hood on '83 280ZX NA?

Hi, guys. All apologies. I'm a newbie looking to get into the Z universe for the first time. I'm looking at a car that seems to have a large gap between the bumper and the hood. Is this something I should be concerned with? For example, a sign of a previous accident? I'm trying to do my due diligence to avoid an expensive repair or possibly a vehicle with a bent frame. Any advice would help. I've attached three photos.

 

Thanks in advance,

There should be a rubber strip attached to the front of the hood underneath to cover up the gap. Looks like that is missing.

The gap is just an unfortunate consequence of the placement and function of the hood hinge.
