Not crazy priced, but...
seen far worse for more
I have always liked the 68-69 GTS 383 4 speed cars better,
but; a 340 4 speed wouldn't be bad... (not org. motor, another value ding)
there's always more rust
depends on what you're doing with the car
for a flipper or investment 'not for that price', be upside down on it
if you live near/er (especially than I do) it might not be too bad
for a local guys project
add shipping/transport costs to that, you're already upside down on it...
Maybe get a better deal than 17K+, less than 12k-13k it 'might be a decent buy'
if it's not a rust bucket, all the normal hidden places
needs a lot of work, if you do it yourself no biggy
if you farm it out, pay for someone else to do it, it'd be expensive
& you'd be upside down on it, $40k adds up pretty damn quickly nowadays

Actually reminds me of a funny but true story....
Back in England at IBM UK where I worked for a couple of years, we had a Christmas party for all staff, and us lowly tradies were allowed to take a longer than normal break time. The Security guards joined us in the non-smoking coffee lounge upstairs. There was a large bowl of chocolate almonds on the table in front of us.
We were all tucking in to them, and one of the guards kept sucking the chocolate off his and putting the almonds in another bowl. He didn't like the nuts I suppose. A little while later, all the chocolate ones were gone, but this bowl of saliva coated almods remained. Another one of the 'Porters' came along to join in...he was a bit dim.....he spotted the almonds and grabbed a handful and shoved them in his mouth. Everyone stopped talking and didn't say a word.....as he chewed, we laughed and cringed at the thought. Nothing was said about that....and the young guy wandered off again.

Yeah that, and for some reason cars tend to look worse in person than they do in pictures on a computer.
My bud and I just went to look at a chebby S-10 for his son. It looked very decent online, but when we saw it in real life it looked like someone went around the whole truck kicking the crap out of it...we didn't even stop, just drove on by...

My $0.02.... worth 24% less since Brandon.... 
It's a 340 4 SPEED car. Bonus!
It's a pedigreed car to boot. Also bonus.
It needs about everything but it looks like most of it is still there. Bonus #3.
If a fella can do most of the work, I'd toss $10k at the seller and see if he bites.
A few years ago, I'd maybe even go after it myself and make a "Fred Jr." out of it -
and therefore not give one damn hoot about its' "value" in the process.
I'm not in this hobby for money - I just love Mopars.
