You're probably going to have to settle for getting a black one and repainting it.

The corrosion that I can see might just hone out, but it's what cant be seen is where the problem will be, we cant see where the rings have been sitting against the bores, and that's where the worst corrosion will be, right where the rings will have trapped collected moisture against the bores. you won't know how bad, bad is until you disassemble the engine, so assume the worst case scenario and factor that into what you offer.

There is no way of really diagnosing a warped head without removing it and putting a straight edge across it, you can use a compression test, a cylinder leak down test, a sniff test or a coolant system pressure test to diagnose a failed head gasket, and they can indicate other possible combustion chamber problems such as a cracked or warped head but the only way to know how bad the problem is, will require removing the head to be sure.
