I think you should take it to someone (solicit input on this forum on where to take it in your area) and have a complete pre-purchase inspection done. You might also ask for a quote on repairing the head studs, while its in for the PPI.
At the end of the day it will probably turn out to be repairable, but your decision should be based on the overall results of the PPI. What condition is the trans in? Suspension, brakes etc. This car is probably worth over $20,000 in absolutely original, well sorted out condition, with good paint $ interior.
Yea there are a lot of project cars out there for less (many in desperate of top end jobs), but I think you should base your decision on what the car could be worth if all its problems are solved. If at the end of the day it will cost more fix it then it will ever be worth move on. Good news is there are a lot of very nice SC cars out there, if that's what your after.
