Well if they were not lying about the circumstances of the cars demise. You should be able to get it up and running pretty easy. Unfortunatly in the car business some people are somewhat less than ethical. It's up to you to judge the seller or sellers.

Assuming they are ethical really check the glow circuit out first. Followed by getting the air out of the fuel system.

All things being equal with decent compression and a working glow system it should run a little by injecting some wd 40 directly into the intake. As I previously mentioned.

If it will not I would not fool around but really do the compression check. There is no harm either as it kind of lets you know the general condition of the engines compression anyways.
