That depends on the inteded use of the car. If its your second, weekend car, it might be worth it depending on the work that needs to go into it. If it's your daily driver, you may find yourself spending a lot of time patching it up to make sure you can get to work, never really restoring it to like-new condition.
I'm on the verge of buying an 88 TA that has a 305 boat anchor in it. However it will be my weekend cruiser / tinker toy for the next few months. I dont mind plunking down some money for that since I dont plan to actually drive it for a few months. Plus, I plan to have it for many years, making it my daughters car when shes old enough (at least thats the sales line to my wife). So for me its a long term investment.
