I focused on it when I rode it and my front foot is way to much close to the front wheel especially when I take a tight turn. This obviously not normal
Is that the only thing?
I agree with everyone else that the photos make it look like it's been crashed head on, but you should be able to ascertain that from looking and taking it to a bike shop for their opinion.
But a road bike having toe overlap is perfectly normal. It tends to be more common in smaller frames and it can obviously be designed out. But I don't think you can use it as an indicator of damage.
If I've misunderstood and there's something else, fair enough. I'd still take it to a shop to be checked out.

Ok guys,
I rode it this morning and there is definitely something wrong on this frame, I don't know if it took a shock during the storage process (in a garage with all my friend's stuff, very messy garage with a car). But to me the frame is clearly dead, I focused on it when I rode it and my front foot is way to much close to the front wheel especially when I take a tight turn. This obviously not normal. I will see to my friend if he had further information but to me is dead.
I'm also pretty sure that if I put the fork on another bike, the frame will be slopping a little bit too.
Very sorry for the emotional upside down, it was a beautiful bike but not anymore.
I could propose to you to offer you the frame and the fork (reducing my price only to the weels and the other stuffs), but to me is useless (and maybe for you too).
So of course, I could refund you the total amount.
More in PM ;)
Cheers,
Bevin.
