Highway overheat.. Wont turn over

[Haytees]

Sooo heres what happened....

Went to iowa city last night to look at a 1g. I test dove it for a bit seemed kinda sluggish and idled a little rough after it warmed up. Figured it would be an easy fix iac or a gasket or boost leak idk.

Well so im driving it about 60 miles home and I started to notice when I fully engaged the clutch, the car would completly die until I disengaged.

Okay get about give miles from my city... Temp gauge is reading a little under the middle mark, then it decided to overheat on me.... I pulled over and coolant was pouring out of the run off, and the radiator cap also had some slowly spurting out if it.

at this time I noticed there was oil on the top of my valve cover and the exhaust manifold was glowing bright orange.

Sitting the side of the high way it will not turn over its cranking and hittin maybe 200 rpms.

Any idea of what I'm looking at? Blown head gasket.. warped head?

Any info would be much appreciated

Warped head and blown head gasket are definitely signs of what you experienced. If you are still interested in the vehicle, try and get a compression test. That will tell you or at the very least head you in the correct direction.

I think we're going to just pull the head if it needs milled so be it and go from there... I think it had coolant in it when it over heated and I stopped driving it as soon as it happened.
Any clues as to why it won't start?

Poor compression.
