Throw up some detailed pics and we can help you. There are so many variables it's hard to assess without looking at it (preferably in person). At the risk of sounding glib, the best way to assess it is to bring someone who really knows these cars AND the market to help you out. We can give you a ballpark with more info and pics.
The Craigslist ad shows as being 23 days old. IMO, if the car was decent it would have been sold by now at that $34k price. If it is still available, I would look for reasons why the price is so low.
You could ask him for pictures of the car frame at the kick up areas and side rails as well as inside the hinge areas of the door. Under the dash at the upper corners of the windshield as well. This would give you a better idea of any rust problems and if it's worth going to see.
Looks like a decent two owner car for that price.
Now knowing you are not the owner, asking what you should sell it for, that car has been on CL for a long more than 23 days. He may have re upped the add but I am almost sure it may have frame issues.

I had him send pics of frame (looks fine) and he said the birdcage is all good.
The price is decent for sure.
If the frame did have issues I would throw an Art Morrison under it.
