At $1.00/gal at my local supermarket distilled water is cheap liquid for
cooling systems and batteries.

It is possible that a PO filled the coolant system with pure water and then parked the car for years.....allowing the water to do its damage.

Using pure water for coolant will lead to cooling system corrosion. The organic acids additive package in antifreeze provide a degree of corrosion protection and water pump seal lubrication. If a car with a healthy engine and cooling system overheats during normal operation then the radiator capacity and/or its air flow needs to be increased. There a good ways to accomplish that using custom bits, and they're cheap by Ferrari price standards.
