Spyder losing power at freeway speeds

I am considering buying a '79 Spyder. Owner says it sometimes loses power over 50 mph. Was wondering if anyone would give me best and worst case senarios, on the costs to repair.

Thanks

Best case: clogged fuel filter.
Worse case: trash (rust, etc.) in the gas tank requiring removal and cleaning or replacement.

Other: Bad fuel lines, dirty carb.

Also could be a dirty fuel pump or clogged fuel filter. Or maybe even just a condensor problem. Its most likely a cheap fix.
