That would probably make the Corsair in question an FG-1D model. Just during the last three or four years, airworthy Corsairs have been put on the block for anywhere between $750K and $1.25M. It would really depend on whether the plane is a barely airworthy thirty year old 'refurbished' airframe, or a fresh 100% restoration of the highest order.
If you can identify the particular aircraft I can maybe give you my personal assumption on the value based on what I know about it, but in the end it comes down to whatever the buyer is willing to pay. No "blue book" value for 60 year old warbirds ;)
