There's a collapsed breather hose from the rocker cover to the carbs suggesting blocked breather stubs on the carbs and/or elsewhere in the PCV system although that won't stop it running.

I'd suggest if you buy it, take a pair of diaphragms for the carbs, some ATF to top up the dashpots, feeler guages to check/adjust the points gap, check the plug gaps and some fresh fuel.

Looking at the underside photos on the listing, the fuel tank may well have rusted internally blocking the fuel outlet on the tank or further along the fuel system.
