Go into it expecting that you'll have to rebuild/replace the engine and it might be a good buy if the rest of the car is in decent condition.

The engine is most likely toast. You can try searching for "paul yaw coolant fix" as it might be a very temporary solution, but the only real fix is a rebuild.
