12 bolt needs some work

I have a 12 bolt that I think the leaf spring perches were welded on at the incorrect angle. It's in my 69 camaro. The rearend was converted out of an old Impala. It was shortened and has ford style housing ends and moser axles and large drum brakes. Posi carrier with richmond 3.90 gears. I had the cover off to change fluid recently and the fluid drained out clean, but I wont pretend to know if the ring gear looked fine I didn't see anything alarming. I'll attach a picture I took, it isn't very good but it wasn't for purpose other than to snap the part number on the ring gear.

Rather than having it fixed, I think I may just want to sell it and buy a different rear end. So with that being said, any ideas on what it's worth in current condition or what else needs to be known to appropriately value it?

Thanks.

You'll need to upload more pictures to showcase it.

I appreciate your reply. Here are a few more pictures to help get a better idea of its shape, i suppose. I don't have any pics of the ford style housing ends, but outside of them looking pretty not much to see there. The car lays down 2 strips of rubber and the rearend is a big part of making that work :).

The pinion points too the ground too much. to get it in the proper range my shims are betwen 6-8* then the perches don't sit flat and makes mounting and staying on the locator pins less than successful in a way I'm comfortable with.
