If you could have gotton it for $2,500-$3k even with no AC that would have been a pretty good buy. But the rest of the car would have to be pretty nice. Heck the engine alone is worth $1,500.

Just check to make sure their is no pressure in the cooling system after the car has sat all night. Other then that I wouldn't worry about the head.
